With the help of her daughter, Sophie arranges a trip to Coachella, where she meets 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (yep, based on Styles), the lead singer of the hottest boy band on the planet, August Moon (ring any bells, One Direction fans?). Her weekend trip quickly develops into a life-altering romance. A premiere date for the film has not yet been determined, but production is scheduled to start in October.
