TAKING OFF

“"Taking Off" is about people. People like your neighbor. People like the family down the street. People like yourself.”

Unable to deal with her parents, Jeannie Tyne runs away from home. Larry and Lynn Tyne search for her, and in the process meet other people whose children ran away. With their children gone, the parents are now free to rediscover/enjoy life.
