A screen adaptation of Lally Katz's one-woman stage show. One of Australia's most acclaimed playwrights, Lally Katz made her acting debut – playing herself – in Stories I Want to Tell You in Person, which she wrote for Belvoir St Theatre. Instead of the show they asked her to write, Katz took her commission and spent it on fortune-tellers in New York, and wrote a play about that instead.

Two men in finance try to find themselves in the world after the collapse of the company they work for. Greg, a young man, should be at the beginning of his career, but suddenly he's at the end of it. Bernard, an older man, should be teaching Greg the ropes of the company. But the company is gone. Bernard will have to teach Greg in other ways.
