A warm, uplifting comedy-drama about elderly women forming unlikely friendships and reclaiming joy through cheerleading, celebrating second chances and community.

After moving to a retirement community, loner Martha eventually befriends her fun-loving neighbor, Sheryl, and forms a cheerleading club for young-at-heart seniors, though they face roadblocks along the way.
