For fifteen years she has lived a life of suburban predictability with Robert, bending to his boorish demands and allowing her once vital, independent spirit to retreat into the safe cage of mundane, dutiful routine. Over dinner that evening she decides to throw off her role of domestic angel and hit him where it hurts: she dares to criticize his driving.

And the surprises are only just beginning...
