To the doctors and nurses, she is just another abandoned elderly woman who can''t even tell them her name. But Therese Marie''s dementia is not all that it seems.

In this unconventional family drama, Stephen Adly Guirgis gives us a mother and son who must face a long family legacy of abuse in order to find the true meaning of grace.
