Two old men in a Florida town become friends more out of loneliness than compatibility.

Frank hopes to bed either the woman he meets at the movies (Piper Laurie) or his flinty landlady (Shirley MacLaine). Walter frequents a café, where he shyly flirts with a young waitress (Sandra Bullock). But it’s the bond between the two men that thrives — until their bitter falling-out.
