Tension is at its apex in a heart surgery waiting room. Four Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CABG), called cabbages, are underway. People wait. They are suspended between life and death, as are their loved ones on the operating tables. Survival is not guaranteed. A group of strangers unite through fear, honesty, humor, and irony.Who lives? Who dies? The room's occupants share each other's hopes and grief. Time seems to stop, three days feel like forever.

Emotions swing like a pendulum as the surgeries progress. There is no time when waiting for if or when.Going home takes on many meanings.
