Tristan Kain is a television director who has found out that his wife, Laura Kain has been cheating on him with her younger co-star, Charles Gibbons. In a fit of manic rage Tristan constructs an elaborate plot (that only a creative director could) to get back at them by holding them at gun point and forcing them to act out their adulterous relationship in the form of a play/drama while he records it.
