Plot

A married couple, Linda (Griffin Drew) and Jeff (Burke Morgan), are trying to get their relationship under control. They do not communicate with each other much; Jeff is a workaholic and Linda thinks he is cheating on her. Linda and Jeff are both having trouble talking to Jeff's two college-aged children, Montana (Lisa Boyle) and Josh (Will Potter), from his first marriage. They then meet Elke (Shauna O'Brien), the younger sister of one of Linda's old friends. Elke, who is free-spirited and sexually uninhibited, begins interacting with most of the members of the family, emotionally and romantically, with a new openness and communication between them as the unexpected result.
