Every 10 years the family gets back together and drink from a mysterious fountain of water giving them the ability to live forever. This is when Winnie comes into the picture and meets this strange yet friendly family. This fountain of youth is only the backdrop for a story that draws upon many topics we can all relate to. Winnie, played by Alexis Bledel uncovers the mystery and enchantment of the Tucks especially while falling for the young Jessie Tuck who is a mere 104 years old, but let’s just say 17……
