Death is a frequent and often welcome visitor to the elderly in nursing homes. But not death by a killer’s choice. Not death to enhance another’s income. A syringe is the weapon of choice for the killer working at Golden Harvest, home of Sue Markel’s mother. Sue, a widow reacting to her 60th birthday and with a mother lost to dementia, is smitten with her unfulfilled dream of being a detective, but equally smitten with a too healthy dose of caution. Enter Corrine, a feisty resident recovering from a devastating stroke. With Kyle, a young man of 18, who embraces danger and drama, they struggle to stop the killer before he kills yet another. But boredom is pushing him to expand his repertoire of killing techniques. More deaths force Sue to confront her fears and Corrine to test the limits of life in a nursing home.
