Synopsis

Dr. David Hurst shares a dental practice and quiet suburban life with his wife, Dana. Their well-established home life with their three daughters is thrown into an unexpected tumult when Dave begins to believe that he witnessed his wife in an intimate moment with another man. Feeling utterly defeated, Dave turns to Slater, one of his disgruntled patients for help in trying to regain grip on his sanity. However, Slater's lone wolf, freewheeling attitude results in advice Dave is not quite prepared to take.
