SYNOPSIS

Two kindred spirits play out their contentious relationship over a game of gin rummy in this touching and hilarious Pulitzer Prize winning drama.  In their twilight years in a dilapidated retirement home, the pair befriend each other and over a game of cards reveal the intimate details of their lives, discovering that the hand we are often dealt is not always best played to win.
