SYNOPSIS: When her grandfather's frequent spells of day dreaming become apparent to 11-year-old Meg, she discovers his ongoing battle with dementia.  She watches as he is restricted by medication, grounded from a drink with dinner, and stripped of the thing he cares about most, his freedom to drive a car.  Meg decides to take a ride on the 'greaser' side of things and follow her grandfather's lead by tossing out the directions.  What she finds is that life is all about balance.
