When an abusive husband takes his celebrity actress wife to the neighbors' house only for her to discover it's a swingers party, she is floored. Is this the final straw for them? While trying to figure out how to leave without angering her husband and setting herself up for private, painful repercussions in their own home, she spots a very handsome man. He's kind and sympathetic, warm and golden as the sun setting into the Atlantic horizon outside the West Palm Beach mansion. And, when he becomes hers, he's not swinging anymore.
