The life of Richard, a young married man, who has a deep will of spending time with other women and dreams of being with them, has been turned upside down, when he loyalty is tested after being visited by the mistress of his friend, as he finds out how much he loves his wife.
Buppie infidelity, marital boredom and female temptation on every street corner are the predicaments posed by this Chris Rock directed oddly unromantic fare.
