Meet Mary Fisher (Streep). She’s got it all: a cliff-side villa overlooking the ocean a wholly satisfying career as a romance novelist...and Ruth Patchett’s husband. And when Ruth (Barr) discovers that her social-climbing spouse (Begley Jr.) has been spending his time at Mary s pink-and-white-monstrosity-by-the-sea she doesn’t just vow to get him back...she vows to get even! Setting out to destroy his business accounts as well as Mary’s precious reputation and career Ruth proves the old adage about a woman scorned by delivering up a husband nearly scorched!
