Ben a middle aged man in his thirties is reacting to the disaster unlike most New Yorkers that day. Soon after the planes hit, Ben finds himself in the apartment of his boss, and secret lover, Abby. Abby, a little older than Ben by just about ten years, talks to Ben about his plan.. this "opportunity".
Throughout the play, Ben is left quiet in the living room, with a ringing cell phone, and a single question; can he do it? With Abby being his care taker, and decision maker Ben finds himself taking part in the womanly role of the relationship. Sitting in the room for hours on end, Ben and Abby talk about the situation in a derisive manner. While pressing valuable points upon their decision for this "opportunity", they both share this unique sarcasm to their argumentation. Infrequently finishing each others sentences, they go at each other, "as if there was no tomorrow".
