Summary

Mrs Loretta Plansky, a recent widow in her seventies, is settling into retirement in Florida while dealing with her 98-year-old father and fielding requests for money from her beloved children and grandchildren. One night she is startled awake by a phone call from a voice claiming to be her grandson Will, who desperately needs ten thousand dollars to get out of a jam. Of course, Loretta obliges - after all, what are grandmothers for, even grandmothers who still haven't gotten a simple 'thank you' for a gift sent weeks ago. Not that she's counting. By morning, she has lost everything. Law enforcement announces that Loretta's life savings have vanished, and that it's hopeless to find the scammers behind the heist. In a bid for justice, she follows her only clue on a whirlwind adventure to a small village in Romania to get her money and her dignity back - and perhaps find a new lease on life, too.
