Five women who have been close since high school find themselves drawn together again when Georgia’s daughter, Callie, announces her engagement to Wade, a man from their shared past. To Callie, Wade is the charming man she loves; to her mother’s oldest friends, he is a figure from their own histories, with a reputation shaped by reckless choices, romantic misadventures, and plenty of unfinished stories. As wedding plans gather momentum, the friends must weigh loyalty, protectiveness, and the limits of what they should reveal about a future son-in-law. The story follows the humor and tensions of long-term female friendship, family bonds, and the complicated moment when parents must decide how much control to hold on to as their children build lives of their own.
