A darkly satirical thriller that uses a retirement home as the setting for a twisted human experiment, blending social commentary with genre horror and mystery.

After a governor issues an executive order to arrest the children of undocumented immigrants, the detained youth are offered an opportunity to have their charges dropped by volunteering to provide care to the elderly. Once inside the elder care facility, however, they discover more twisted secrets than they could have possibly imagined.
