Jim and Betty are retired, visit Denny's for breakfast every morning, and seem like an ordinary senior couple. But one day, these high-school sweethearts make a decision that throws them into a life-changing situation. Running from the scene of the crime, they take a desperate road trip across California and ponder the events that led them to this moment in their lives. "For Our Daughter" is by turns amusing and moving, and explores what can happen when the law does not satisfy.
