Storyline

Liz and Hugh Preston have been living a life of perfect harmony for fifteen years — what one commonly calls “happiness.” But this peaceful bliss has gradually led to a certain boredom, prompting one of the spouses to cheat on the other — what one frankly calls “adultery.” But who, in fact, is responsible for this minor disaster? Hugh claims it’s Liz. His wife, on the other hand, has good reason to believe it’s her husband who strayed. Fortunately, Hugh will find a way to defend his love and save their marriage. He’ll use a tactic that seems absurd at first, but ultimately proves effective…
