In present day Boston, BARBARA, a worry-prone divorcee, has just moved her mother into Tropical Gardens memory care facility. There she meets JACK, an older man caring for his wife, who suffers from final stage Alzheimer’s dementia. As summer progresses, the lives of the two families become increasingly intertwined. JACK is torn between his long-time devotion to his wife and his strong attraction to BARBARA: She struggles with the burden of responsibility for her mother, the machinations of a domineering older sister, and her quest for personal happiness. Not just a study of Alzheimer’s, this is also a humorous and touching modern-day examination of love in its many forms.
