In the seemingly perfect but quietly desperate suburb of Oakview, Sam Rockwell stars as Doug Varney, a meek and overlooked pharmacist whose life is meticulously managed by his domineering, fitness-obsessed wife, played by Michelle Monaghan. His mundane existence is upended by a chance encounter with the glamorous and deeply dissatisfied trophy wife Elizabeth, portrayed by Olivia Wilde. This darkly comedic drama, directed by David Posamentier and Geoff Moore, explores what happens when Doug, armed with his professional access, begins mixing potent pharmaceuticals with his dangerous new affair. As he experiments with a curated cocktail of substances, Doug embarks on a hedonistic journey of rebellion and self-discovery, all under the watchful, sardonic eye of his customer, the iconic Jane Fonda. The film weaves a tale of suburban ennui colliding with chemical euphoria, as Doug must navigate the exhilarating yet perilous consequences of choosing a new, artificially enhanced path, challenging everything he thought he knew about better living.
