This is British humor! Lot of explicit sex! Tabloid reporter Anna Shapiro can pinpoint the day, three years ago, when she and her husband, Dan, last had great sex. Anna would be grateful if something as ordinary as a mer headache were her husband's excuse; Dan's hypochondriacal terrors include brain tumors, tropical diseases, and spontaneous combustion. But now an assignment for a racy tabloid expose inspires Anna to go where no journalist has gone before, to answer some questions that suddenly seem very important: What is the perfect outfit for committing adultery in? Is it beyond the pale to pick up a man---no matter how sexy---at a funeral? Yet the most crucial quesiton is one Anna never expected: Is she willing to give up her marriage and children for the biggest gamble of her life?
