After she arrives at her country home for a romantic weekend getaway, things don't go exactly as planned for high-powered Manhattan lawyer Louise (Meg Ryan). Her husband of 13 years, Ian (Timothy Hutton), tells her that he's leaving her for a younger woman (Kristen Bell). Shocked and determined not to see her marriage end this way, Louise knocks Ian out with a house plant and ties him up with duct tape, refusing to release him until he professes his love for her and commits to working on their marriage. And that's when things REALLY start to go wrong. The unexpected arrival of an opportunistic young gardener (Justin Long) and Ian's impatient mistress only serve to complicate the crisis even further, and Louise and Ian find themselves trying to work out their problems in the most extraordinary and unexpected circumstances.
