The three main characters – Mary O’Toole, Mary O’Neill and Mary O’Brien – all suffer from memory loss and have become almost inseparable friends during their time together in the home. However, due to renovations part of the home is being closed down and so the three Marys must go their separate ways.

In the telling of the stories they laugh, they cry and even sing and dance!
