The year is 1962 and Margaret (Minnie) Gibbs, now 80 years old, returns home alone after the funeral for her son Tom. She finds the ghost of her dead husband, Francis, waiting for her in the kitchen of the old Victorian house in which they raised their children. Margaret had been a businesswoman, a suffragette in the early 1900's, and married Francis in 1910 when she was 30 and he was 40. They talk of their time together, their conflicting careers and ideas, avoiding and then finally get to the tragedy that shaped their lives and the lives of their children.
