Sophie is busy preparing for her wedding, but has a problem. She wants to walk down the aisle with her father, but has no idea who he is and where to find him. In her mother’s diary, she finds the names of three men her mother interacted with that fateful summer 20 years ago, and she decides to secretly invite all three of them to the wedding and determine the secret of her birth. Sophie’s mother Donna is surprised to find herself face to face with these ghosts from her past. A tragicomedy of errors follows…
