Laura Burney has a seemingly idyllic life and perfect marriage to Martin, a successful Boston investment counselor. On one occasion, Martin jealously claims that Laura has flirted with their new Cape Cod neighbor, an attractive doctor she has only glimpsed distantly, before physically assaulting her, and then later, in a recurring pattern, apologetically showers her with flowers and gifts.
