Edsel Bronfman is 34 years old and has never really been on a date, has no friends, works a dead end job and wonders what has happened to his life. He gets a call about a free trip to Destin, FL. It is one of those "let us try to sell you a time share" weekend visits. To Edsel, it seems like the biggest adventure of his life. But the woman says he must bring a companion. Who can he bring? His mother is losing her marbles, and besides, this isn't a trip for a mother and a son, he needs a COMPANION. After 34 years, he decides to find someone. He starts conversations, checks out the scene, starts working out at the YMCA. He steps, ever so hesitantly, out onto the limb that may contain a real life. Edsel is really a sweet guy, just maybe a late bloomer. He starts a conversation with the receptionist at work, a lady cop and a young woman who is a friend of the local drug dealer. Any and all of these relationships show promise of ending in a trip to Florida. For us, the real trip is watching Edsel make his move (so to speak) and find a life for himself. Great fun.
