Two sixteen-year-olds are hitchhiking in front of a rural Ohio farm when Marge spots them from the kitchen window. Frank and Marge have retired from their first careers and are happy raising cattle in a leisurely manner. Their grown and well-adjusted children live just far enough away and that suits them fine. Marge wants to help the kids. Frank doesn't want to get involved, but inevitably he is drawn into their story. Eventually he must revisit his past and confront a harsh reality.
