Ptolemy Grey is a 91-year-old man forgotten by his family, by his friends, by even himself.
On the brink of sinking even deeper into a lonely dementia, Ptolemy experiences a seismic shift when he’s given the tremendous opportunity to briefly regain his memories and uses this precious and fleeting lucidity to solve his nephew’s death and come to terms with his past.
The series is based on the novel by bestselling author Walter Mosley, and stars Samuel L. Jackson who plays Grey himself – an ailing man who is alone in the world as he battles dementia.
He is left in the care of orphaned teenager Robyn who is played by Dominique Fishback, as they learn about a treatment that will restore Ptolemy’s dementia-addled memories and begins a journey towards shocking truths.
