It’s New Year’s Eve at the Marigold Hotel, and Fin and Lowen are preparing for Day One of the new year—swapping out phone books, replacing calendars, and trying to survive the final overnight shift before midnight strikes. The vibe is easy, quiet even, until one of the Marigold’s long-term guests decides he can’t wait a few more hours for the updated phone book.Against policy, Fin and Lowen give him what he wants, figuring it’s harmless and hoping to avoid unnecessary drama before the holiday. But by morning, the same guest deliberately reports them to management, leaving the two exhausted night workers reprimanded for a favor that should’ve never mattered in the first place.Now, the first sunrise of the new year arrives with tension, betrayal, and the uncomfortable realization that at the Marigold, kindness and policy rarely survive in the same roomWritten, Edited, and Produced By Ren Patrice
