Storyline
Alex and Ruth Carver, an older couple, want to move because living in a five-story walk-up is too difficult without an elevator. Their niece Lilly is their broker and believes the apartment is worth up to $1M. In their search for a replacement apartment, Ruth finds one she really likes, and their offer is accepted. However, the sellers’ agent wants a deposit cheque that evening or it will go back out to bid.

“One of the most satisfying things to me is how faithful Scorsese was to my book.”
