Meanwhile, her long-term secret admirer turned power lawyer, Jackson Brooks, never expected to have another chance to win her heart. Unexpected and inconvenient obligations send this unlikely pair on a rushed road trip from Los Angeles to Florida with Joan's grandmother's "priceless" antique trunk in the backseat. Jackson sees it as a 2,012 mile-long opportunity to convince Joan of what he's known since age thirteen: they're meant to be together. Meanwhile, other things weigh on Joan's mind, like how her seemingly happy marriage just came to an unceremonious end, leaving her without a home or any sense of hope. On the wild open road, nothing goes quite as planned, but as Jackson and Joan speculate what treasures could be locked inside the mysterious trunk, they discover extraordinary truths in one another, including a secret Joan's been carrying far too long. A fresh take on the buddies-on-the-road romantic comedy, DETOURS bursts with heart, humor, and cheer-worthy moments, proving that unexpected, undesirable bumps in the road can sometimes lead to something wonderful.
