description: In the world of the near future, 2025, the extreme right is in power in the U.S. Women have become disenfranchised, losing even the most fundamental rights. Because of the continued machinations of the government, society is divided not by income or class, but by ethnicity and age. The elderly are forced to move into institutions, to make way for more productive members of society, and are encouraged to utilize self-euthanasia. Mary and John are in their late sixties, and meet on a seven year “retirement trip” to an orbiting space station, where they are led to believe things will be better. They quickly form a relationship, scandalizing everyone on board the shuttle. They discover they are intended as slave labor and organ donors for the wealthy on earth, and are never meant to return. They are determined not to surrender quietly.
