Synopsis

A black comedy about a troubled marriage.... Beautiful Julie Hammer is the nicest woman in the world--and therefore perhaps the most dangerous. She is a first-grade teacher in an upper-class suburb who can't find the strength to either break off her affair with another married teacher or stay with her husband who is campaigning for the office of District Attorney. It is only after the affair becomes public knowledge that all the characters start to struggle with the issues of honesty in love, politics, and family life.
