What's Grand Horizons Like?
After fifty years of marriage main characters Bill and Nancy Stevens begin to settle into a comfortable new home and life, living in their new home at the Grand Horizons Retirement Community. Nancy suddenly decides she wants out of her marriage and all hell breaks loose. The unbelievable news about Bill and Nancy come as a shock to everyone they know including and especially their two adult sons who would never have expected their parents to be unhappy in their marriage.

The show is loosely based on the real life Grand Horizons community and residential facility in Appleton, WI and the crazy interactions that the residents and their families have with each other.
