Leo has all that a man needs in New York, a beautiful wife (Ellen) played by Michele Williams is equally a successful career woman. She is renown in the New York as one of the best and respectable emergency surgeons. She commands authority among the peers. Because of her good records, Ellen often has long queue of clients to who she does not mind sacrificing anything else in the world to serve them. She often works late in the night to save a life.

This seemingly excessive passion for their jobs rather than each other is costing them dearly. The first casualty is their eight year old daughter, Jackie, who has to spend most her time with the Phillipino nanny, Gloria. As Jackie warms up to Gloria, Ellen notices and seeks to understand the rational of her commitment to her work, is it the right priority?

Salt is added to the injury when Leo travels to Thailand for a business trip. The long stay obviously punches more holes to his marriage. The drama begins when he begins to toy with the thought of drastically changing his life.
