A boy tries to stay close to his grandmother as she struggles with Alzheimer's disease. Grandma Ronnie used to love to dance with her grandson in the kitchen as she baked cookies. Now she lives in a nursing home and doesn't remember the cookies or her grandson's name. Seeing Grandma Ronnie is like visiting a stranger-- until one visit, when a band plays at the nursing home. As Grandma Ronnie sways to the music, her grandson sees her in a new light. What he does next will lift his grandmother's spirits as well as his own.
