After three decades of marriage, her spouse, Mark, no longer seems attracted to her. In fact, Mark has not even been faithful to his loyal wife. Their daughter, Kate, is the only member of the family who knows the parents are bound for emotional destruction. In a bid to win Mark back, Barbara visits a plastic surgeon. This latter-day wizard carves the fat off Barbara's body and smooths out her wrinkles. The resulting creation is a refashioned woman who appears at least ten years younger than she really is. Only two questions remain: has Mark forever lost interest in his wife, and secondly, is he even worth all of Barbara's efforts? [More]
