After 13 tranquil years, Jim and Marsha's marriage is on the wane. Their suburban routine is shattered, however, when Jim's old flame Wanda comes to visit.

As her apparent ignorance of social norms plunges Jim and Marsha back into the fast stream, the question looms larger: Can their marriage survive?
