In the attic of a soon to be demolished house in 1968 New York, two brothers meet for the first time in sixteen years to sell off the possessions left by their deceased father.  Victor had wanted to be a scientist, but settled for life as a cop on the New York streets, while Walter left home to become an eminent surgeon.  Reunited, they set about dealing with the pain and misunderstanding that lies at the heart of their relationship, and the sacrifices they have both made.

As they confront their history, eighty-nine year old furniture dealer, Soloman (one of Miller's great comic creations), haggles over the remnants of their lives, ready to offer a fair deal.  After all, everything has a price.
