Jeanne Roth, a divorced middle-aged woman is forced to return to a home state she’d rather forget. An unlikely caretaker, Jeanne must come to terms with a past filled with the shadows of her mother–a once vibrant femme fatale now suffering from Alzheimer’s. As she watches her mother’s grace and charm slowly slip away, Jeanne is forced to reflect on her own goals and find a new hero to look up to. An expert at analyzing others while neglecting her own troubles, Jeanne is suddenly squaring off directly with the one person she has tried to avoid: herself.
