The Oscar and Tony winning star of Chicago and Traffic will play an unorthodox marriage counselor whose methods push a fractured relationship into increasingly dangerous territory. The film follows a couple whose marriage is on the rocks. They attempt, over the course of a single weekend, to repair their relationship at the home of a seemingly helpful counselor (Zeta-Jones). What begins as a hopeful exercise turns dark as her techniques become increasingly cruel and hazardous.
