Though we take ourselves wherever we go, there's nothing like a road trip to tinker with our inner coordinates. Old school maps in tow, agoraphobic Dan is heading out with his wife's remains in a coffee can to accompany daughter Jennifer on her move to Florida. Jennifer has her own problems: not only did she just find out that her now ex is gay, but he's also refusing to hand over her departed mom's coveted cookie recipe. Unless, that is, she parts with some of her mom's remains. Jennifer has a new job waiting for her, but first she has to give up some old dreams. Dan too has baggage, namely the closeted memories of his wife, who has left father and daughter with some edgy stuff to sift through. Guiding them to the sunshine state is Joe, the smooth-talking GPS with a knack for knowing people. Detours brings home the message that life might be full of potholes but the wacky stuff we encounter along the way makes it all a little more bearable. Even, if we're lucky, sometimes enjoyable.
