Young Adult

Mavis Gary is a 37-year-old divorced, alcoholic ghost writer of a series of young adult novels, on deadline with her editor to finish the last book of the soon-to-be-canceled series. She receives an email with a picture of the newborn daughter of her high school boyfriend Buddy Slade and his wife Beth, believing it's a sign they're meant to be together. Mavis leaves Minneapolis, returning to her hometown of Mercury, Minnesota, where she reconnects with a former classmate, Matt Freehauf, who warns her off reuniting with Buddy.
