The women are scientists and they are making a cure for cancer. They have been working on the project for over a decade but still have not been able to come up with a cure because of a combination of lack of funds and the complexity of the disease itself. The women started the project when their close friend died at an early age of cancer. Though they are nearly broke they only focus on coming up with the cure. The sad thing is that cancer is to complex to come up with a 100% reliable cure and the scientist will be remembered as unpractical scientists who wasted their time on an impossible task. In the future scientists finally come up with a cure and investigation shows that the two women were very close to cracking the disease.
