The story is told from the perspective of an old, nearly blind woman living in Ambrosia Manor, a home for the wealthy aged, as protests by the Our Turn Movement erupt throughout the country. The\  protests are against the old for despoiling the planet, hoarding its wealth, and living too long and, as a result, depriving the young of what they see as their birthright. On the whole, the authorities support the protesters, and such homes are being torched.
