This play is about a professor who finds out she has stage four ovarian cancer. She realizes through her ordeal that she has no friends to fall back on, no family to support her. Over time she befriends the nurse that is taking care of her, and as her cancer treatment progresses she finally realizes the futility of success if there is no one to love.
