SYNOPSIS: In the wake of a nuclear meltdown, two retired nuclear physicists are attempting to preserve their quiet life on a farm close to the exclusion zone. An old colleague arrives with a radical proposal that forces the trio to confront past choices and determine their responsibility to future generations.

SEEKING:

HAZEL: (Female, 60-70) A retired, health obsessed nuclear engineer in her mid-sixties. She does yoga and eats organic food to foster a healthy and ease-filled retirement. Prim, hyper intelligent, and practical.

ROBIN: (Male, 60-70) Also a retired nuclear engineer. While he projects a jovial and accommodating exterior, he harbors unresolved feelings for their past visitor and a deep-seated guilt regarding the ecological disaster.

ROSE: (Female, 60-70) An old colleague and former romantic rival who abruptly reappears after 38 years of living in America. Calm and focused, she is driven by a stark sense of generational accountability.
