Seniors Atifah, Mel, and Rita live together on a ship and routinely share breakfast. This time, their morning meal takes on a different tone as they prepare to celebrate the birthday of El Tigre, the goldfish, for the first time since the passing of beloved resident Leviy. While preparing for the festivities, they discover a void left by Leviy’s departure and grapple with coping with her loss. This void cannot be filled with blueberry muffins alone; it is filled by an unknown guest who steps in to help mend their emotional wounds.
