Monica, 40, tangles with an abusive ex, Jade, until Larry Don, 63, crashes into her life - creaky-kneed, whiskey-sipping, and unyielding. As they marry in a rain-soaked D.C. backyard, Jade's threats fade, but Larry's age sharpens into vulnerability. Heart failure hits hard; he dies home, sunflowers wilting, Monica's tears drying on his skin. She vows to laugh, pour whiskey, and keep sunflowers blooming. Larry's "old" becomes her forever heartbeat - imperfect, fierce, unstoppable.
