2006, dawn of social media.
Paralegal Shelly Griffin is 43, single, stuck in small-town dead-end Rust Belt, Ohio.
When she discovers a song by a long-forgotten band about a dying local beer, she inadvertently triggers the first-ever viral clip on the internet and finds herself leading the frenzied search for the remnants of band.
Shelly sequesters the middle-aged ex-hippie remnants of the band in an idyllic farmhouse to prepare for their reunion show. But she quickly discovers that steering the runaway Decamania outside is easier than mothering the multigenerational menagerie of band and team members as long-buried skeletons emerge before prying TV cameras, new relationships evolve, and improbable bonds are forged.
