Foregoing the usual pursuits of knitting or bingo, Martha harbors a much wilder dream: she wants to escape her dull existence and pull off a bank heist. Energized by the desire for excitement and an urge to break free from the constraints of her age, Martha gathers a motley crew of fellow residents to help her execute her audacious plan.
