Three women at different stages of their lives and with different life experiences spend a somewhat antagonistic evening together in they each coming into the situation with their own agenda. The first is a ninety-two year old wealthy woman long widowed, now confined to a wheelchair, her left arm in a sling due to it atrophying, and dealing with other physical issues of the elderly such as incontinence, with her general mindset being that she still has to do things for herself in others taking advantage of her otherwise. She has no family upon who to rely in long being estranged from her only offspring, a son, and no friends in they all having passed before her. While her mind has outwardly been like a steel trap until now, she is starting to show early signs of dementia. The second is her fifty-two year old hired caregiver who doesn't seem to like her job much solely because of her boss. The third is a twenty-six year old representative from the legal firm hired to deal with many of the elderly woman's administrative items, the elderly woman largely neglecting to sign the necessary forms to pay this bill or that bill. After the elderly woman goes to sleep for the final time, the three women morph into the elderly woman at age ninety-two, fifty-two and twenty-six, each discussing their life with each other knowing what she knows then and what her hopes and dreams are compared to the all knowing reality by herself at ninety-two, while at ninety-two she may have incorrect and/or idealized memories of her younger life.
