When Alicia Stoneworth is called to Avmore Retirement Home on a missing persons’ case, she welcomes the opportunity to check out the facility. Secretly, she hopes she’ll be able to gather ammunition to convince her sister to move their Dad into a residence, where he’ll be around other people, instead of caring for him at home with the assistance of a health care android.
