Synopsis

The life of a pharmacist (Sam Rockwell) is about to change. He knows that his marriage is finished and he finds no remedy in the small and boring town in which he lives. The only alternative that occurs to her is to become a mistress (Olivia Wilde). This girl has a somewhat peculiar hobby ... and is that she is addicted to prescription drugs. The young woman will gradually open her eyes to such an extent that she will become part of this world so addictive, changing and even dangerous. As time progresses, they decide to formalize their relationship. However, instead of the two deciding to divorce separately, they plan to murder her husband ... Will the play go well? The film is directed by Geoff Moore and David Posamentier.
