The film centers on two middle aged couples, whom are completely different from one another, yet are deeply in love. When Kitty and Larry first meet each other, Kitty finds Larry persistent and not too humorous while Larry finds her boring. After they are left alone due to three couples cancelling their trip, they fall in love during a fishing outing, where Kitty plants a kiss on Larry after catching her first fish. From there they are inseparable, but there is one problem standing in their way. Kitty is married and writes her husband a letter informing him she has fallen in love with Larry. Kitty and Larry begin to fight, knowing their actions are not right.
