The play captures the lives of three disillusioned youths navigating the transition from teenage to adult life in the Reagan-era Upper West Side of Manhattan. Over the course of two days, these privileged yet dysfunctional young adults wrestle with issues of loyalty, ambition, and self-identity. As they struggle with their relationships and future prospects, they reveal the angst and challenges of a generation at odds with the expectations of the world around them, all while dealing with the consequences of their own reckless decisions.
