When Nate (Noam Ash) is forced to leave his fabulous city life 
behind and move in with his grandparents after a bad breakup 
with his boyfriend, he is determined to escape the confines of 
retirement community life and his meddlesome grandparents’ 
relentless attempts to ‘improve’ him. But when his Holocaust-
surviving grandfather, Saul (F. Murray Abraham), shows signs of 
cognitive decline and his grandmother, Miriam (Caroline Aaron), 
refuses to acknowledge her husband’s early dementia, Nate finds himself torn between his 
desire to flee, family responsibilities, and an unexpected romance with his grandparents’ 
handsome doctor (Charlie Barnett).
