Meredith and Celeste are on a search for the immortal jellyfish; real creatures with Benjamin Button abilities. Celeste has a pet jellyfish that she wants to return to its kind and Meredith has an obsession with them. The strangers, generations apart, find each other online and travel to Florida of all places. On the long drive down to the state of sunshine and Mickey Mouse, they examine their bodies in rearview mirrors and ignore phone calls from home. Religious family and lovers left behind try to stop them before they run into the ocean and maybe even become jellyfish themselves.
