With the help of quirky kitchen worker Foster Kresowik, wheelchair-bound resident Robert Kallman creates a video game that allows nursing home residents to relive cherished memories or create new experiences. One-legged Duane Lotspeich is thrilled to dance the tango again, while octogenarian Laverne Slatchek cheers for her favorite baseball team alongside her late husband. Even the overwhelmed administrator finds solace in a more luxurious virtual world. However, the joy turns to chaos when Robert is discovered dead in the pond, still in his wheelchair. The circumstances of his death are murky, leaving residents and police uncertain if it was suicide or murder. As Robert's game goes dark, the players become desperate to restore it, leading Foster to rally a motley crew of residents and staff. Their quest—both virtual and real—unveils hidden criminal activities and the final wishes of Robert. This unlikely group embarks on an extraordinary journey filled with unexpected challenges and profound revelations. Blending sharp wit and compassion, the narrative offers a rousing, perceptive, and original exploration of life, memory, and the bonds that unite us.
