For more than two decades, Barry has rented his basement apartment to Teddy. The two are an odd couple who enjoy a mostly amiable, yet unequal, friendship as Barry finds himself constantly monitoring Teddy's exploits. When Teddy's behavior starts to become erratic, Barry must search for a solution to the problem (and to quell his frustration.) But Teddy may need more than the help of a couples counselor.

Old Goats is a gentle comedy about the indignities of aging. Meeting at a weekly coffee klatch for the local over-70 set (no girls allowed!), three "old goats" from different social strata develop an unlikely friendship. One's a married, golf-playing, sports-car-driving businessman recently forced into retirement. Another is a salty octogenarian World War II vet and (still) devoted womanizer. The third is a shy bachelor car mechanic, just fired, who lives on a squalid sailboat . Theirs is the common tragedy of losing one's vocation, one's purpose in life. There's talk of sailing adventures, online dating, and a condo in Palm Springs, but these three live in common terror of the question, "What's next for you?" They know damn well what's next! And they're determined to avoid it for as long as possible.
