Overview

"What started out 50 years ago as an annual party evolved into a yearly reunion and then a way of life. It's sort of like a geriatric Big Chill." Sam and Sarah are the elderly owners of a farm in central Iowa that turns into a private retirement community when it also becomes home to a disabled friend, a destitute neighbor and her daughter, and an expatriate artist. Together, this close-knit group confronts the hardships and disappointments of age and infirmity with courage, humanity and humor. But beneath the surface, this rustic "home away from the old folks' home" is not everything it seems. One of its inhabitants is a killer. Another is her victim. How far will these lifelong friends go to help each other when their way of life is threatened? Witness what loyalty and sacrifice really mean to this unlikely group of people gathered together under one roof.
