One evening while serving her successful but bland husband dinner, she hears a radio announcement about Willie Nelson's farewell concert. Through his music, she is transported back to her disjointed childhood. Greta is suddenly overwhelmed by the need to see Willie Nelson and will do whatever it takes to be at his last concert in Las Vegas. She takes off to America, leaving behind the husband and comfortable life she knows.
