Open Circle

Mindy Lee “Minnie” Carlson’s dream job has dropped into her hands, but there’s a catch. She has four months to revive Open Circle, the town’s only Senior Adult Day Center, or the doors will close, leaving her beloved seniors stranded and eliminating the only job she’s ever wanted.

Globe-trotting photographer Jackson Young documents the forgotten people of the world, especially the poor and elderly. After decades on the road, he’s stunned to discover his beloved Grandma Em is still alive in the small town he’d had to leave as a child.

Overjoyed, Jackson sweeps back into town to reconnect with her, and finds she’s been Minnie’s adopted grandma for the past twenty years. When Em has a stroke, his ideas about her care pit him against Minnie’s determination to help her regain her health and independence. For Grandma Em’s sake, and the future of Open Circle, they’ll need to do the impossible – find a way to work together.
