Bill and Nancy are fifty years into their marriage. They can anticipate each other’s every sigh, snore, and sneeze. But just as they settle comfortably into a new senior living community, the unthinkable happens - Nancy wants out. This funny, shocking, and painfully honest story is a wild ride that takes an intimate look at the unpredictable and enduring nature of love.
