Synopsis

George and Linda Harper's 17 year marriage has gone stale, but George doesn't seem to be aware of it.

When confronted with the problem, he gets a vasectomy, which solves nothing, so he moves out.

Linda rearranges her life by enrolling in self-improvement courses.

Trying for an amicable divorce, they agree to use one lawyer and hire their closest friend.

When this backfires, George attempts reconciliation by trying to seduce Linda but is interrupted by the unexpected return of their son from a date.

But it does result in their realizing they still care about each other and that their marriage is certainly worth a second chance.|2 women, 4 men
