After New York suburban wife Connie (Diane Lane) scrapes her knee, she meets a handsome stranger named Paul (Olivier Martinez) by chance when he stops and offers to help her. What comes next is a steamy affair with him in the city. Connie's husband, Ed (Richard Gere), picks up on something being amiss and sets out to find out what's going on with his wife. Meanwhile, she's having a hot relationship with a virtual stranger and fulfilling all the sexual fantasies she didn't realise she even had. While the story, of course, doesn't end well for anyone involved, the sex scenes are truly hot.
