Synopsis/Details
Off a suspicious post-it in her husband HENRY's pocket, MELISSA, at the urging of her best friend TIFFANY, spies on Henry and sees him kissing another woman. Before she can confront him, he insists they leave town at once. On the run, Henry explains that TY, a shady client, might want him dead for knowing too much about an illegal slush fund, and that Jane,  the woman Melissa saw him with, was really Ty’s assassin—that he killed in self defense. Melissa almost believes Henry, but when Melissa’s best friend TIFFANY checks Henry's story, Jane’s body is missing. Tiffany follows Melissa and Henry and unknowingly befriends JOHN, Ty’s second hitman. Tiffany catches up to Melissa and Henry, but so does John, who takes Melissa hostage. Henry and Tiffany band together, rescue Melissa, and with some later assistance from John, who has fallen for Tiffany, set an FBI trap for Ty. In the epilogue, Melissa and Henry are expecting. And Tiffany offers John a "conjugal" visit.
