David and Nancy - on the eve of her wedding, a father tries to convince his daughter she is making a terrible mistake.
Bill and Laura - a divorcing couple find they are at the same dinner party and engage in one- upsmanship that goes way beyond comparing that evening’s dates.
Alan, Betty and Riva - a podiatrist who is having an affair with his nurse inveigles her into seeing a sex therapist. It doesn’t work out as planned.
Nick and Wendy - not-so- happily married couple attend a self-encounter weekend at a California hotel.
Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Wexel widow and widower meet at a retirement condo complex in Florida. Is romance around the corner?
