Hapless Leo at age sixty can't catch a break. As a caregiver facing years of servitude, a love-lost marriage, and a mirthless career fixing and selling vacuums speak doom. Life sucks.
Leo and his hulk of a neighbor, Mosby, share adventures, not all good, in the course of twenty of their twilight years. The two are a classic mismatch: Leo the cerebral type, Mosby a low-watt bulb. But Mosby is a faithful friend, off-key, and impossible for Leo to shake.
The Last Act is a rapid-fire, dark humor, buddy story, sometimes irreverent, improbable yet real, with surprises at every turn.
Leo eventually discovers the secret to life, one that is built on a universal truth than many people miss until they open their eyes. The answer is never far away if you pay attention.
