After Loneese retires from her job as a secretary and her husband of forty years, Horace, retires from his job at the Pentagon, the couple move into Sunset Place, a retirement apartment complex. Both Horace and Loneese have had their fair share of affairs, but before they move, they promise each other they'll work harder for their marriage. That promise, though, is quickly broken, and Horace and Loneese become known at Sunset Place as the couple who hates each other. They keep separate phones and even separate refrigerators until Loneese gets sick and dies alone in a hospital room. At the time of Loneese's death, Horace is sleeping with a sixty-one year old woman who lives at Sunset Place. One day, after Loneese's death, the woman's daughter, Jill, and her friend, Elaine, come over for a visit. Horace is mesmerized by the twenty-five year old women and invites them over that evening. Only Elaine comes over, but they sleep together that night. In the morning, Elaine is amazed by Horace's apartment full of food and nice clothes. She tells her roommate Catrina about him. Just a few months later, Horace's apartment is a revolving door of various friends and acquaintances who want a free place to crash. They begin selling Horace's things. One of these friends, Darnell, gets Elaine pregnant. They have the baby and make Horace its middle name. One night, Elaine hears walkie-talkies in the hall. The police caught wind of drugs being sold in the apartment. Elaine and Catrina take the baby and flee out of the second floor window. A few hours later, the police break in and take Horace to jail. His cellmate is less than friendly. Horace is finally released the next afternoon, but when he returns home, his apartment is trashed. He begins sobbing and cries himself to sleep. He awakes to knocking and opens the door to Elaine and her baby. She is shocked by the mess. As she apologizes, swearing she didn't do this, Horace grabs her by the throat and threatens to kill her. The baby begins crying and Horace releases her. He cries over his broken records.
