The play opens on a normal living room. Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma all discuss seemingly meaningless things. Through the conversation, it becomes clear that all three are extremely sexually frustrated. A visitor, Mrs. Barker arrives, saying she was called, although no one remembers who called her or why. She also appears to be sexually frustrated, and clearly represents a higher class than Mommy, Daddy, or Grandma. Grandma seems to recognize Mrs. Barker, and tells her that Mommy and Daddy adopted a child through Mrs. Barker, and then maimed and killed the child. Mrs. Barker does not understand what Grandma has told her. Grandma begins to move out of the apartment, and takes everything with her. A young man appears, evidently the twin brother of the murdered child. Grandma removes herself from the show and joins the audience. The end implies that history will repeat itself with the young man.
