Dystopia in which senior citizens live in retirement communities and treat their children and grandchildren as enemies. The story is told through the eyes of a couple visiting her parents at Sunset Acres in Arizona, which is built as a eutopian version of a Kansas small town, complete with ice cream parlor. They learn that the inhabitants are united in paying their children back for all the trouble they caused them as children and ensuring that there is no money left to inherit.
