Once admired for her exceptional intelligence and brave stands on many issues, Edith Lorrimer is now 82 years old and ravaged by Alzheimer's. On the instructions of her son, an eminent neuro-psychiatrist, she is unwittingly testing a new medication intended to restore her alertness and dignity. The treatment works wonders. Edith's memory and lucidity gradually return. But there is an unknown drawback . Her meeting with a young Haitian, Gaspard Toussaint, convinces Edith that she must exercise the liberty of choice that has been so freshly restored to her.
