How much would you pay to stay alive? As her health deteriorates, Maxine is convinced her daughter is paying Nurse Tina to “nudge” her into the grave before the new estate tax become law. So Maxine proposes a deal of her own, and the wild ride begins, delivering us, as the title suggests, straight to the intersection of America’s two inevitables. Darkly comedic, treacherously suspenseful, engaging and provocative.
