When Elizabeth spots a dead body on a park bench—one that looks exactly like her—she takes it as a blunt message: stop waiting. With retirement home staff too rushed to truly notice her, she makes an audacious choice and walks out, determined to reconnect with the parts of herself she’s mislaid.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAs Elizabeth disappears from routine, her daughter Lara’s carefully scheduled life begins to wobble, and her teenage granddaughter Evie’s troubles can’t be sidestepped any longer.
