It is the early 1960s and Myrmy stubs her toe in the pre-dawn hours on her way to soothe her infant son, cursing the latest nurse for not waking up again. Dressed to the nines, it is Myrmy who is off to an executive position writing advertising copy for shampoo. Her husband, Dan, who fought in two wars, sells ties and cooks dinner. A Jewish couple living in an exclusive suburb of New York, Myrmy powers through her life in high heels and Dan silently suffers the after effects of a military radiation experiment. Together, they raise a family.
