When grandmother, Josephine (senior Holli Chandler), starts to show signs of senility, her daughter Bess (freshman Lily Grosch) and son-in-law Watt (senior Scott Willy) are forced to make some tough decisions about their mother's welfare. They each experience conflict with their children Anna (junior Ashley Kuril), Evelyn (sophomore Nina Dolan), Connie (senior Amanda Brommel) and Thayer (sophomore Matt Steiner). Evelyn's boyfriend Ira (junior Athens Boyle) arrives for the weekend and gains the knowledge that although the family may face disagreements, they continue to have close ties. Director Kathy Weber commented, "this show is very challenging for high school actors. It requires the cast to draw from their own life experiences to be sure they are giving authentic performances." Sometimes painful, sometimes humorous,
