A retired radiologist living in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Gustin Novak is haunted by memories of his life and the women he loved at 28, 58 and now 88-- ages marked by the return of the planet Saturn, an astrological phenomenon of intense change that occurs every thirty years. As the play opens, 88-year-old Gustin is so lonely that he has resorted to paying people for companionship. He's tried a plumber, a computer technician, an au pair, an escort, and finally Suzanne, an assisted-living professional who looks uncannily like his daughter and who grudgingly agrees to make him breakfast and keep him company.
