A 1950s housewife's discovery of her husband's homosexuality touches off a whirlwind of explosive events.

ABSTRACT
Cathy Whitaker is a seemingly perfect housewife in an idyllic 1950s suburban Connecticut family, married to loving husband Frank with two lovely children.

REVIEWS

Review by B.Kiser (posted on 1-Mar-2008)

Worst movie I have seen in quite some time. Dennis Quaid is a favorite of mine, and why he chose to do something this bad is something I do not understand. He chose to play a gay? Why? He was lousy in this movie. The parenting skills displayed by the two disfunctial parents was deplorable. The only redeeming feature was the scenery. Did this bomb make it to the big screen? I just rented it because of Quaid. Wasted my money, big time.
