The premise

Here’s the bit.

On day twenty of Middle-Aged Man Island, three campers learn that a woman named Janet will be joining them. Their preparations drift into a discussion of roads, traffic and inconvenient weekdays. When Steve abruptly reveals that he has prostate cancer, his companions struggle to offer anything more meaningful than another conversation topic before finding reasons to leave.
