Former theater star Mickey Patrick just found out his wife, Beth, is six weeks pregnant. The crazy part? They haven't had sex in six months.
Let's be real - their relationship has never exactly been silky smooth. When they first got together a decade ago, Beth's ferocious temper hit too close to home for Mickey, who grew up with an abusive, tyrannical stepfather. So, to avoid her red-faced wrath, Mickey fell into a destructive pattern of lying and omitting minor details (like where he was really going to college and who he was really in love with), and it all backfired in explosive fashion when the truth came out.
Now, with the tables turned and Beth caught in a huge lie, Mickey learns he and his wife have even bigger problems than he imagined. And it's not just the baby in Beth's belly that isn't his. It's the troubling fact that they're both miserable, they're both drawn to other people, and they're both afraid to admit what they really want. Then, during a whirlwind weekend surrounded by friends and family, Mickey rediscovers a version of himself he thought he'd lost forever, and he begins to wonder whether his broken marriage is even worth fixing at all.
