An upbeat, heartfelt comedy-drama about Marnie, a New York widow who follows her daughter to Los Angeles after a life-changing loss. With boundless energy, practical wisdom, and a generous if sometimes overbearing need to fix everyone’s problems, she disrupts routines, forges unlikely friendships, and opens hearts she touches along the way. Through humor and tenderness, the story explores letting go, aging gracefully, and how a stubborn, loving meddler can spark renewal for a fractured family.
