Liza Jarrett, born at the beginning of the twentieth century, faces eviction from her house at eighty-four. Stephen, a young gay social worker, visits her and, winning her trust, Liza recalls her life: an exhausted mother, a spiritualist husband marked by war, a beloved son and a chaotic daughter. Their friendship sustains Liza and gives Stephen courage.
