Kelly and her four best friends refuse to sit down in their rocking chairs to nod off in retirement. They want nothing more than to peacefully live in a small Texas town and enjoy their grandchildren. They courageously face the challenges of Alzheimer's and widowhood, while still finding fun and humor through their lifetime friendships and family. But, their cozy world is shattered when they come face to face with pure evil. Reminded of their heritage of freedom fighters, they are determined to change the status quo. They reject the idea that we're trapped and doomed to repeat the same old cycle of struggles. However, when confronted with a sinister shadow world, they become the target of a corrupt gang of sex traffickers.
