Synopsis
A true story based on events in Deric Longden's autobiography. Annie Longden is an eccentric old woman who starts out in perfect control of her life. Then she suffers her first stroke -- a mild one from which she quickly recovers, but it leaves her strangely obsessed with gremlins. When she begins to deteriorate after suffering a series of more serious strokes, her son Deric, a morose writer with an addiction to compassion, and his blind wife Aileen help her along the difficult way with humor and devotion.
