It's wannabe movie star Rose's 60th birthday and she is desperate to celebrate like it's 1999. However, her partner in crime--her uptight daughter Genevieve--is struggling to ignore some recent tragic revelations about her Mum. As the enigmatic duo regresses to childhood ways, "A Last Resort" takes a humorous, idiosyncratic, and occasionally painfully honest look at mother-daughter relationships and the dastardly life-cards that are dealt to so many of us.
