Lorraine and Ethel, sisters in their sixties, are living in their childhood hometown, a small to medium sized town in Newfoundland and Labrador called Port Might. The play opens with Ethel in their family home of over one hundred years, sitting at a small table applying her make-up. The house was left to her by their brother who recently died. Ethel has just had a big Flee Market and has sold a lot of the contents of the house. This morning, Lorraine enters to find furniture dismantled and the house in a state of flux and disarray. Ethel tells Lorraine she is leaving, and she is selling the house. This shocks Lorraine who had great plans of her own for the family home. Through their conversation, arguments, and reflections, we get a glimpse into their lives, their hopes - realized and dashed, paths taken and not taken, and their relentless search to make sense of it all.
