The action takes place on a "cold and magical midwinter night, when the citizens of Almost, Maine experience the life-altering power of the human heart."
For example, a woman carries her heart, broken into 19 pieces, in a small paper bag. A man shrinks to half his former size, after losing hope in love. A couple keep the love they have given each other in large red bags, or compress the mass into the size of a diamond, according to a description of the play.
