Joe and Tess have spent seven years married, but not in bliss. Each fiercely proud and unwilling to be first to give in, their love becomes a cancerous war of worsening proportions as they deny each other affection and refuse to communicate. Miserable and hurt by Tess's drunken actions at a party, Joe leaves and drives away - drives anywhere, as long as it's far from her. When he finds himself literally on a cliff edge, his pride leads to a strange chain of events that will have terrible consequences for them both.
