Carole McGann's glamorous film career is long forgotten, but her Malibu estate is bustling with activity: her three grown grandchildren are returning for her ninetieth birthday celebration.

Against the backdrop of a raging political firestorm, the family renews ties . . . as everyone chases an elusive version of paradise.

Edie, the oldest grandchild, has ignited the controversy. Now a congresswoman, she's proposed a bill to sell a national treasure to developers. Visions of the White House dance in her eyes.

Dex, a multimilionaire with cancer, longs for immortality.

And Gabe, the football star-turned-idealist, seeks healing for his young son's mysterious illness--as well as spiritual healing for his entire family.

As Carole slips in and out of the past, her family struggles with wealth, fame and prestige. Will the power of their love and prayers overcome enormous obstacles as they search for peace and fulfillment? Only time will tell--but unfortunately, time is quickly running out.
