Nate is on top of the world. With a cute partner, fun New York friends, and big writing dreams, Nate is ready to fly. Until he crashes. Suddenly dumped by his boyfriend and totally broke, Nate crawls to the only people that will take him: his sweet, offbeat grandparents (played by Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham and Caroline Aaron). Despite their own major life complications, Grandpa Saul and Grandma Miriam welcome him to their lovely Jewish old folks' home.

Searching for meaning amid the seniors, Nate discovers unexpected connections and unearthed emotions — not to mention an exciting new romance with his grandparents’  hunky doctor (_Russian Doll’_s Charlie Barnett). Written by Noam Ash, who also plays Nate, and directed by Mike Doyle, Bookends unfolds with a funny, realistic touch, but doesn’t shy away from real world hurdles, including the fragility of family bonds, the unsettling darkness of dementia, and the distress of being alone. With its amusing energy, colorful characters, and unique setting, Bookends digs beneath the surface to ask big questions about identity and belonging.
