The musical alternates between flashbacks of the roommates’ college days in the late 50’s and their 25th reunion in 1986. Joe is an upstart kid from Brooklyn while Blake is a prep schooler with legacy to the gills; yet improbably enough, they remain roommates all four years, each figuring out what makes the other irritating yet intriguing. At their class reunion 25 years later, friendships are put to the test when the facades each character had created to hide his real troubles...
