Similar to the hit sitcoms Schitt’s Creek, Grace and Frankie and The Golden Girls, this story revolves around a group of misfits living in their own eccentric world. Some are retired and some in their prime, they navigate the ups and downs of dating, growing older and following their dreams. Learn more about Piedmont Point at
