About

Sam, 76, a retired poet, is thrown out of his own home by his daughter when he forgets a towel and almost burns the house down with his grandchildren in it. His son Bo leaves him at an assisted living facility where old age takes over. Bored out of his mind he approaches another resident Carl and asks him to record a rap song. Their friendship strengthens and together they record a music video too. But the pandemic hits hard the facility and Sam is left alone again.
