Synopsis of Your Number’s Up:

Marie’s once fun and feisty mom, Rose, is the oldest resident at Overlook Terrace, an assisted living facility. At age 102, she suffers from dementia, and her conversational repertoire is limited. Without warning, she might break into song, swear like a sailor, or say something else inappropriate. Luckily, the staff thinks Rose is a hoot. 

Then one day, Rose says something that’s not so funny. Referring to her aide, Willow, she says: “She’s dead.” Two days later, Willow is killed in a car accident.

Marie is stunned. Her husband Mike is skeptical, even after Rose begins making other predictions. On top of this, someone is sneaking into Rose’s room, wheeling her around the facility, and marooning her and her wheelchair in odd places.

With the help of her wacky sister Gina, Marie sets out to discover who has it in for Rose – and to solve the mystery of whether their mother really has ESP. Is it all just coincidence, or is something more sinister going on?
