Locked in a rehabilitation center, Leona wants to be left alone to recover from Pneumonia. But her granddaughter Janie, who has just lost her job, keeps pestering her every night. In an attempt to bond with Janie, Leona finally shares the story of her first love, a tale of heartache and sacrifice that changed her life forever.

A chance encounter at a drive-in sparks a tumultuous relationship between sixteen-year-old Leona and grown-up Eddie Ritter in 1956. Leona, recently returned from a boarding school, is embarrassed and annoyed by Eddie's attention, but he convinces her to go on her first date. However, their story ends in heartache when they marry other people and lose touch with each other for forty-five years.

Fast forward to a different lifetime.

Janie meets Edward, a handsome doctor visiting his grandpa at the facility. To their surprise, they realize their grandparents' love story is intertwined. Fueled by hope, they concoct a plan to reunite their loved ones.

Everything unravels when Edward's ex, Christina the Dreadful, shows up on their first date.

As a made-up engagement is mistaken for the truth, Leona and Grandpa Eddie take on the role of matchmakers, determined to see their grandchildren's love story end happily, minus the forty-five-year wait. As they navigate the complications of love and family, with the guidance of their wise grandparents, the youngsters learn to embrace their true selves and find love in unexpected ways.
