Reunited at a time of crisis after a long estrangement, old friends and compatriots Vinnie and Carter attempt to out-think and double-cross each other in several comic and suspenseful plots. Involved in their treachery are Vinnie's offbeat girlfriend, Cecilia, Carter's wife Rosie, and Simms, the victim of an elaborate racetrack blackmail scheme perpetrated many years earlier by Vinnie, Carter and Rosie. The play examines friendship, love, betrayal, as well as role reversal and the shifting power dynamics of long-term relationships.
