Message Received

Ike McKinney and Liz Sanders are residents at the same retirement center. When they go missing, the director of the center suspects the seniors have run off together. She contacts their grandchildren, Amanda Richardson and Brady McKinney, who soon learn that the wily seniors have a life lesson or two in store for them, as they lead them on a merry chase.

After a bit, the seniors decide it's time they had a little fun for themselves. They head off to parts distant. Worried for their beloved grandparents, the young people join forces to find the wayward couple. Unfortunately, Ike has a medical condition that requires attention, and the grandkids worry for his health. Complicating matters, the seniors don't want to be found.
