When a woman tries to outwit her husband's sexy young mistress, the unexpected consequences include starring as King Lear in a very amateur production - with the mistress, an aspiring actress, playing The Fool.

Plot

Two women who meet by chance make a pact to fix their unhappy lives: they will each do what the other one says. But one has a secret: She knows her husband is sleeping with the younger woman. Madelyn's plan backfires when aspiring actress Lucy orders her to play King Lear in a very amateur production, with Lucy playing the Fool. Madelyn's life is transformed in unexpected ways as, like Lear, she struggles with matters of mortality and betrayal, loyalty, and love.
