Leo Vincent is a successful chef, who has stolen most of his recipes from ex-wife Gina Benelli, whom he cuckolded for years with second spouse Sam. Now Sam is convinced he is having an affair and he is - with Gina. Gina has another problem with rebellious daughter Teresa, who is allergic to water, but things come to a head at a party for Sam and Leo's son Michael's eighteenth birthday party, when Sam learns the truth and reacts angrily. Rather than hate each other the two women empathize, casting Leo as the villain but both rush to his hospital bed-side when he makes a suicide bid.
