The narrative is based on a true story. One of them, Roger, is assigned as an advocate for his brother. The other, George, has severe physical and mental issues that are taking their toll on the both of them. There are five main characters: Roger, George, three unnamed characters, Roger's daughter, the lady liaison in the business office at the convalescent home, and George's ex-wife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs George can no longer take care of his financial affairs, Roger becomes the power of attorney for his brother, George. Not only can George not take care of his finances, he can no longer take care of his physical and mental health. Roger is obviously not a caregiver and really cannot attend to the needs of George's health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge rejects Roger's attempts to get him to eat right and to exercise regularly.

The problem is that Roger is a novice when it comes to being a power of attorney. No one can inform him how to circumvent all the \"roadblocks.\" So he goes about accomplishing this task via \"trial and error.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a story of love, hatred, heartache, regret, contention, despair, deceit, ignorance, compassion, and bureaucracy run amok.
