Bri receives the results of a genetic test informing her that she is likely to develop Alzheimer’s Disease. But Bri has a plan, and wants no input from her children. But can her friend Quinn do the unimaginable? Inspired by the author’s own family history of Alzheimer’s and the new direct to consumer genetic testing market, this play explores how old friends can provide more solutions than our genetic code.
