When it comes to love and romance, she and her father Frank are two sides of a similar coin: while Frank marries one wife after another, he currently on divorce number five, Carly does not believe in monogamy and has several casual sexual partners at any given time. Carly rethinks her beliefs on the matter after two months into a passionate and romantic relationship with Mark King, for who she drops all her other boyfriends. Carly is unaware that back in upscale suburban Connecticut, Mark is married, and his wife Kate believes that they are happy. In Mark and Kate's decade-plus-long marriage, Kate has forgone all her own dreams and aspirations to be a stay-at-home homemaker, happily supporting Mark in his life, including his lucrative business in developing start-ups. After Carly and Kate meet and find out about the other in Mark's life, each has an immediate reaction based on their own life: Carly, who is not a home breaker, willingly will never see Mark again despite previously believing he may have been "the one", while Kate, who has devoted most of her adult life to Mark, may have a problem envisioning a life without him. Wanting to understand what has happened and in her fragile mental state, Kate turns to the only person she feels she can, who might have the answers she seeks: Carly. At first, Carly reluctantly supports Kate, but things change when they find out that they are not the only two women in Mark's sexual life. — Huggo 1 more All
