In a New England town four mentally challenged young men are living in a communal residence. The story of their daily life is told through the perspective of Jack, the increasingly "burned out" social worker who teaches and looks after them. Filled with humor, the play is also marked by compassion and understanding; it touchingly communicates that these four men are like the rest of us who want to love and be loved and find some meaning and purpose in the too brief time we are allotted on earth.
