After her husband died young and her grown children left home, Maxine lives like a single woman on her own. Long retired, she sleeps in late, then meets friends for meals, content and at ease. What looks free to others feels empty to her; watching couples on the street, loneliness hits. Then she meets a shy taxi driver—another lonely soul. On a whim she invites him home for the night, serves her signature cake with wine, and relives the dance music of her youth. Neither knows this night will be the most unforgettable of their lives.
