Hillary was adopted at birth. Her mother Margaret is a widow. Hillary has been searching for her genetic parents. She has already found her birth mother, Delia and as the play opens and husband David comes home from work she informs him that she has just made contact with genetic father, Antonio. She also tells David that she has invited birth mother for a visit the following weekend. So as not to upset Margaret they concoct a story that they are going away for the following weekend and taking son Jason with them. The following weekend, when Delia has arrived Margaret turns up on the pretext of checking the house. Then Antonia arrives uninvited and is mistaken for a swimming pool salesman. In an effort to keep Delia and Antonio apart David tells Antonio that the two women out back drinking his wine are the cleaning ladies. Amid the deceptions and tall stories the play turns into a farce as people come in and out of doors, just missing each and David's stories get taller. Delia and Antonio do meet although they remember the event, they are total strangers now and have nothing in common. Finally Jason takes a phone call and informs him that a woman says she is his daughter and David can’t take any more and runs from the room. Then Jason explains that it was just a joke.
