Ruth has been married for more than 50 years to Burt. They live in a condo in Chicago. Their happy life is changing almost daily as she moves into the later stages of Alzheimer's disease. Nick, her single son who cares deeply about his mother, believes it is time for the family to put her in a memory care facility. At his urging, his sister Bridget comes in from Los Angeles, accompanied by her daughter Emma, who has been kicked out of her college dorm for drinking; mother and daughter are not communicating well. Nor does Bridget really know her brother. He resents that she has her parents' power of attorney even though he has been doing the lion's share of caregiving for them. When Nick asks his father why he does not have the power to make decisions, Burt says that he is irresponsible and has only been able to land a job as a bartender. In fact, Nick owns a bar. The family all want the best for Ruth and must come to terms with what it means to let go of the woman, wife, mother, and grandmother they once knew. For Burt, it is all about commitment. He refuses to give up his role as primary caregiver
