A spirited, comedic revenge romp centered on a sharp-witted elderly woman who refuses to be victimized, blending absurdist humor with genuine warmth and intergenerational bonds.

When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.
