Jacob Duff has grown tired of his adoring wife Régina.  Yet there is no reason for his malcontent.  His spouse is twenty years his junior, charming, affectionate, attentive - in short, the ideal partner.  But Jacob has had enough of this cornucopia of charm, affection and attentiveness.  His growing dissatisfaction with Madame Perfect provokes him into drinking more heavily and he becomes increasingly violent to the one who loves him...
