The plot focuses on wisecracking cynic Mary and infuriatingly sensible Bob, on the verge of divorce following a nine-month separation, who meet at his apartment in the hope they can avert an audit by the IRS. A snowstorm forces Mary to spend the night, and the following morning mutual friend and attorney Oscar, Hollywood heartthrob and neighbor Dirk Winston, and Bob's considerably younger fiancée Tiffany arrive on the scene. The comedy's humor is derived from discussions about income taxes, marriage, alimony, divorce, remarriage, extra-marital affairs, weight-loss programs, exercise, and sex.

The thought of sex, let alone a discussion of such, gives him hyperventilation. Yet, he develops dependence and desire and, when Amanda leaves over an issue of marital burial plans, this stubborn, old man, who dreads travel and change, is seen with maps and keys, ready to pursue the love of his life. Like a chamber piece, there is a conclusion, and this retired stonemason crafts a surprise on wheels.
