In a contemporary rural American town, a psychopathic 60-year-old man strikes up a deceitful relationship with his young female neighbor.

A woman married to a much older man feels miserable during pregnancy, having abandoned frequent alcohol consumption, insecure about her husband's obsession with his ex-wife, a dead political poet, and missing her carefree youth. When she finally gives birth, she begins to see her aging husband as disgusting and infant-like and begins to contemplate divorce.

After her possessions begin to disappear from her apartment, a woman suspects that her adoring new husband is not who she thought he was.

A three-years-married couple have lost the spark that once excited them, leading the wife to venture into tentative love affairs.
