The deeply personal film focuses on Max's mother Kathy as she begins to struggle with her memory. In a quest to find his mother the best care possible, Max moves back to New York and begins to consult with health experts to investigate the origins of Dementia, an awful disease that now affects a staggering 55 million people globally. The doc chronicles Kathy's experience with Dementia as Max explores methods outside of prescription medication to slow her progress.
