Louise é uma consagrada advogada de Manhattan que não vê a hora de passar o fim de semana ao lado de Ian, com quem vive há 13 anos. Na casa de campo ela é recebida com um buquê de rosas, mas acaba descobrindo que as flores foram encomendadas para a amante do maridão, Sara, muito mais jovem do que ela. Em segredo, ele já começou o processo de separação da mulher. Enfurecida e não se conformando com a notícia, Louise resolve manter Ian em cativeiro. Ela se recusa a liberá-lo enquanto ele não voltar a pensar no casamento. O filme é muito mais do que uma divertida guerra dos sexos. É uma batalha entre pessoas que pensam diferente.
