To Emily, her interior design business is everything, but to her clueless husband Kevin, it's all just so much stuff. He despairs of her ever becoming sweeter, and turns to young Milly. But their cheeky time in Brighton has unforeseen and damn near killing consequences. And will Kevin ever again see the real love of his life, Sophie? Meanwhile Emily indulges in brief and carnal bouts with Raymond, the perpetually furious PR man, who - truth be told - is much keener on her daughter, Shelley. Raymond's wife is drunk, his mother-in-law certifiable, and all this kidnap and blackmail business just isn't helping at all.
