Summary:

Examines the systemic abuse of elderly people in Las Vegas and exposes a cautionary tale where some of society's most vulnerable citizens are robbed of their life savings, healthcare decisions, and autonomy. Victims are drawn into a scheme that allows corrupt court-appointed guardians to take control of their lives. Armed with court orders obtained under dubious circumstances, guardians are able to forcibly remove elderly wards from their homes and isolate them from their families.
