|
|
| Max Carlyle travels to see his old friend Charlie in New York and winds up in an act of infidelity with a beautiful stranger named Karen. Max's one night stand is not a source of fear or guilt, but rather a crisis that leads him to question the life he's built and is so easily convinced to betray. That life, as a family man and director of shallow commericals in Los Angeles, is best embodied in his demanding wife Mimi, a Hollywood socialite who only connects with her husband on apparently superficial levels. |
