Boynton Beach Club -- A story of life, loss and love after 50. Retirement isn't what it used to be. After the loss of loved ones, members of an 'Active Adult' community meet at the local Bereavement Club in search of emotional support. The new energy in the club inspires more celebration than commiseration when members get back into the dating game.

Bette Midler stars as Jacqueline Susann, an ambitious woman of dubious talent who writes Valley of the Dolls. Jacqueline's sense of humor, indomitable spirit and adoring husband eventually rocket her from struggling starlet to international celebrity.

A romantic comedy about our amazing capacity to rebound and fall in love at any age. Lois, Harry, Marilyn, Sandy and Jack live in an "Active Adult" community in Boynton Beach, Florida. Their lives intersect when they meet at a local Bereavement Club where they go to find emotional support after the loss of a loved one. For anyone who thinks that new love and romance ends long before retirement, they're in for a reality check. No one sees themselves as becoming old, and the residents of Boynton Beach aren't about to start. But sometimes we all need a little reminder that life is worth living and sharing.
