Apple Grove used to be a nice neighborhood that epitomized the American Dream. Now, it is home to failing businesses, crumbling sidewalks, and a low-end nursing home. In a burst of desperation, a patient suffering from Alzheimer's escapes from the nursing home, seeking her son. She is overwhelmed and confused by the world she encounters. Everything she sees and hears reminds her of an event from the past, but her tenuous grip on her present reality rapidly deteriorates. She loses track of her goal, becoming increasingly disoriented and afraid.
Meanwhile, the overworked staff of her nursing home notice her absence. They work with the limited tools at their disposal to get in touch with the family of the escaped patient. Difficult to reach and uncomfortable with each other, her family must overcome their own dysfunction before they can be of any use locating their missing matriarch. Bitterness and confusion build as night sets in. Everyone will have to work together if they intend to find the escaped patient before it's too late.
