An old guy amed Brian, who claims he doesn't smoke, and an old woman named Estelle, who claims she doesn't drink, meet on a computer date, and you learn fairly quickly that a) he smokes, b) she drinks, and c) their names aren't Brian and Estelle. That's just the beginning of this twisty mystery, and those little deceptions are minor compared to what follows. You may or may not see the switchbacks coming, but either way, you're in good hands. Mirren and McKellen are in control all the way.
