Plot Synopsis

THE GOLDEN BACHELOR showcases a whole new kind of love story -- one for the golden years. Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner is a hopeless romantic who's given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life. The women arriving at the mansion have a lifetime of experience, living through love, loss and laughter, hoping for a spark that ignites a future full of endless possibilities.
