When they get married, can they avoid the same issues at home that lead people to provide them business at work? One of the central cases in the story is the heavily-publicized divorce of a rock star (Michael Sheen) from his wife (Parker Posey). The unlikely lovers scramble to avoid the same issues at home that lead people to provide them business at work. The two leads, among Hollywood's finest, burst with charisma and dynamite on-screen chemistry.
