She hopes to pass the property down to her young grandson, Oscar, but, unfortunately, it's the end of an era. The land faces enormous economic and societal problems, and as Jeanne ages, she finds herself at the mercy of a younger and unreliable workforce. Realizing her predicament, Jeanne must resort to hiring caretakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnqualified, entitled, and manipulative, Lez and Rudge move upstate from New York City to become Jeanne's supposed safety net.
