Alex Brownell, 22, is about to enter his senior year at Brown University. He has just become engaged to his long-time girl friend, Melanie Chase, also 22, and a senior at Smith. Melanie is quite literally the girl next door in Alex's hometown of Newport, RI and they have been together since grammar school. Alex's mother is ecstatic about the engagement because Melanie is like a daughter to her. Alex's best friend Kip Dyer, also a senior at Brown and Alex's dad are a little uncomfortable about the engagement because to their knowledge Alex has never had the opportunity to sow his wild oats. Alex's plans, along with those of his mother and Melanie, receive a severe jolt with the arrival in Newport of Max Halley and his daughter, Madison, 21, from Atlanta. Max is a detective, and Madison is the mother of 6-month-old Mimi, the daughter Alex fathered the previous year while on spring break in Ft. Lauderdale. Alex knows nothing of Mimi's existence because he and Madison gave each other a false name in Ft. Lauderdale and because neither of them showed up for a final farewell rendezvous. This play uses humor to explore the issues surrounding personal accountability and shows how Alex, Melanie, Madison, Kip and Alex's parents try to figure out what to do about Mimi?
