Agnes (Eva Victor) is a high achiever. Barely out of her twenties, she is already a faculty member of the English department at a north-eastern US college.

Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore), whose megastar radiance has worn off with age, is sacked from her television aerobics show the day she turns fifty by an orange-tanned executive named Harvey (Dennis Quaid).
