Bob is raised on the road by an adoptive mother determined he will become great, then repeatedly loses purpose and loved ones while chasing a plaque commemorating his achievement. Across five acts he discovers his parentage, rejects his earlier ambition, and later tells his life through a flea circus, finding meaning in connection rather than fame.
Graduate students Jules, a marine biologist, and Jo, a journalist, meet in his underground campus laboratory after she answers an online personal ad promising sex that could change the world. Jules believes patterns he found in fish behavior foretell the end of most life and has prepared the lab as a refuge from disaster. A third character, Barbara, guides the audience through a parallel story of civilization’s end thousands of years earlier.
