Tanner Quimby, age 21, is in need of a place to reside. Ideally one where she can spend the next nineteen hours a day playing video games while lounging about in sweats. She has few alternatives since she has no credit and no money to speak of, so she seizes the chance to work as a live-in caretaker for an old lady.
On the rug, one slip. All it took was for Louise Wilt's daughter to insist on having a full-time nanny live with her mother. Never mind that she's still able to pour her two fingers of vodka every day and do her daily crossword problem. In summary, Tanner wants to be a caregiver more than Louise does.
In the beginning of their cohabitation, the two are content to ignore one another, but Tanner soon begins to notice odd occurrences. For example, why does Louise lock her garden shed more tightly than a jail cell? Furthermore, why is the local media so obsessed with the suspect, who has a striking resemblance to Louise, in one of the largest jewelry thefts in American history? And why does Louise show up in her room at one in the morning, a packed suitcase in hand, demanding that they get out of town right away?
This is the beginning of the tale of a young, aimless lady and an old woman who should not be taken lightly. If they can overcome their previous errors, they may just go on the greatest journey of their lives.
