Carole and Dan have been married for over 30 years. Carole is a strong, dutiful wife and mother, and Dan is a recently retired police officer. They are looking forward to spending their “golden years” together, with their daughter Sarah, son in law Kevin, and their dog Puddles. But Dan begins to forget things. It starts out as little details but progresses quickly. Carole struggles to take care of him on her own, but as Dan becomes more confused, and at times aggressive, she feels pressure from Sarah and her sister Diane to put him into a long term care facility. Carole is adamant about keeping him at home, having watched Dan’s mother’s dignity and desire to live wither away in a facility, but his violent behavior may be too much for her to handle.
