Amanda and her stepfather, Martin, struggle with a moral issue that divides them. Has Amanda’s mother, Leslie – who is suffering from advanced dementia – lost the ability to make critical decisions in her own best interests? And, if so, who is responsible – a spouse, a child, an institution – for making such a determination? As Amanda and Martin are forced to make increasingly difficult choices, the repercussions spiral out of their control.
