Synopsis/Details
Mary Masters is a very happy woman. She has a loving, successful husband, Steven, a beautiful home, and a baby on the way. Too bad she doesn’t know that Steven is having an affair with his gorgeous sales rep, Trish.
One afternoon, Mary decides to take a drive up to their vacant cabin, thinking that Steven might be there looking it over for possible renovations. Instead, Mary finds Steven and Trish having sex. She runs from the scene in shock and horror, but goes unnoticed by them.
As soon as Mary comes home, she starts having terrible pains and bleeding. Her neighbor drives her to the hospital where she suffers a miscarriage. When Steven finally gets to the hospital, Mary doesn’t confront him at all about the affair. In fact, she doesn’t tell anyone and decides to secretly take revenge on Steven.
Over the days, Mary takes her revenge when and where she can, i.e., making Steven so ill that he misses a crucial meeting, putting a snake in Steven's car to cause him an accident, and manages to set up Trish so that Steven fires her. Mary is satisfied and plans to divorce Steven, until she finds him with yet another woman. This sends Mary over the edge, and she starts a fire in Steven’s company.
When Steven has a conversation with two of his employees, he suddenly suspects that Mary is responsible for everything. This leads to the final confrontation between Steven and Mary. But Mary has the ultimate move as she sets up Steven where the police officer catches him assaulting her with a knife.
Mary recovers and gets away with her revenge, and Steven goes to prison.
