In Act 1, a young lawyer, 'C', has been sent to the home of a client, a ninety-two-year-old woman, 'A', to sort out her finances. 'A', frail, perhaps a bit senile, resists and is of no help to 'C'. Along with 'B', the old woman's matronly paid companion/caretaker, 'C' tries to convince 'A' that she must concentrate on the matters at hand. In 'A's' beautifully appointed bedroom, she prods, discusses and bickers with 'B' and 'C', her captives. She cascades from regal and charming to vicious and wretched as she wonders about and remembers her life: her husband and their cold, passionless marriage; her son and their estrangement. Finally, when recounting her most painful memory, she suffers a stroke.
