Storyline

Set in the near future, LIFE BEGINS AT REWIREMENT follows Simon Ender on the day he checks his 100-year-old mother Jessica, into a memory care facility that uploads elderly minds into data banks. Simon must grapple with the difficult decision of what is best for his ailing parent as she descends further into dementia. The strained relationship of mother and son is put to the test as Jessica transitions from her aging body into a hard drive with infinite access to every memory and experience. Simon comes face-to-face with feelings of guilt, insecurity and ultimately, love, when the two are reunited.
