Eric Yashido doesn't like sleeping on his best friend's couch. He's here because Kyra, his wife of 20 years, kicked him out of their home. She read an e-mail that suggested Eric and a coworker were having an affair. At the time that wasn't quite accurate, but after Kyra kicked him out, Eric did commit adultery with Danielle, the coworker. It was the next morning when he got the phone call that changed his life.
Kyra has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a car accident. She is not physically hurt, but her mental state is affected. She believes Eric is dead, and she is devastated. As Eric talks to the doctor about Kyra's condition, the doctor decides it is best for Eric to move back home and let Kyra believe things are just fine with their marriage. It seems she does not remember kicking him out.
Eric walks on eggshells around Kyra. He's not sure what to say to her, how to answer her questions, how to act around her or how to react to her clinging to him. It's as though the past few months of conflict in their marriage never existed. Adding to the conflict is the fact that their son, Benji, is getting a medical release from the Navy because he is allergic to fire ants. Benji's return puts additional strain on the whole relationship nightmare.
Over the course of the next several weeks, Eric goes through mental torment. He wants to tell Kyra the truth, but he really wants their relationship to be restored and to move forward. Little by little, Kyra does start to remember a few details of their conflict. When an unsuspecting person questions Kyra about knowing of Eric's infidelity, Kyra confronts him and throws him out of the house again, telling him they are finished and this time she wants a divorce. Eric's world crumbles again.
However, Eric has a better plan this time. Will his plan to win Kyra back be successful? Even as he and Benji drive away from their home, Eric holds on to hope.
