Die Handlung soll die Geschichte des jungen und leicht reizbaren Schriftstellers Nate (Ash) erzählen, der nach einer schlimmen Trennung gezwungen ist, sein fabelhaftes Stadtleben hinter sich zu lassen und bei seinen Großeltern einzuziehen. Schnell bemerkt er, dass sein den Holocaust überlebender Großvater Saul (Abraham) Anzeichen eines kognitiven Verfalls zeigt. Seine Großmutter Miriam (Aaron) weigert sich allerdings, die ersten Anzeichen von Demenz bei ihrem Mann anzuerkennen. Nate ist hin- und hergerissen zwischen seinem Wunsch, dem Leben in der Seniorenresidenz zu entkommen, seinen familiären Verpflichtungen und einer unerwarteten Romanze mit dem Arzt (Barnett) seiner Großeltern.
