At the same time her “Nigerian Prince” is in reality a desperate Russian scammer, caught in his own compromised situation with organized crime. Her elder affairs social worker tries to help, but with little awareness of what age and loneliness can do to an intelligent woman, who is looking to feel like a queen for a day.
