It’s an old-fashioned love story: boy meets girl…at a retirement community among frisky seniors after having been the reason she was fired from her job…
Jia Lee is having an epically bad day.
Having been fired from her job for a mistake she did not make and then coming home to her shoebox apartment to see her on-again-off-again cheating on her, Jia needs out. So she escapes to the one little corner of the world that always brought her joy growing up, her grandmother’s home in Sunset Hills Senior Living Community. At Sunset Hills Jia can be among her favorite people—octogenarians living their best, sun-soaked, fun-filled retired lives—and forget about all her failures and mistakes.
On a good day, Henry Park hates being a lawyer. On a bad day, he questions all his life choices about the profession he thought would fulfill his need for order and underlying savior complex. Today was the worst day. So when his grandfather asks him to spend a week helping him move into his new home in Sunset Hills Senior Living Community, Henry decides it’s just the break he needs. Slow-paced, quiet, simple living with his elderly grandad for a week. Easy.
What Henry did not expect to find was a community of old people living loud and living large. Zumba, pickle ball, speed dating and…oh god…safe-sex classes. One might see it as reckless for people their age. Unsafe, even. And in the center of it all leading the charge, a bright, shiny, over-the-top stunner named Jia Lee. The same Jia Lee that Henry was forced to terminate at his company.
As Jia tries to find the clarity and courage and direction for her next move among those who have lived through all the ups and downs of what life has to offer, Henry has to figure out how to unwind and let go of a life he’s holding on to so tightly, including being overly controlling with his aging grandfather, for any chance at his own long and happy one. And when the chemistry between them intensifies, they find that opposites do attract and maybe the motto of this magic place rings true and you can “Find your happily ever after at Sunset Hills Retirement Community”.
