Friends and fellow Deaf club performers: Les, Reg, Cyril and Ruby, have been together for over 30 years. When Ruby falls ill their lives are thrown into turmoil; she has been the one keeping them together. Relationships are put to the test and a sudden realisation that they’re not young any more adds to the situation.
