Story is of Leslie (Anne Archer), housewife who’s torn between uptight husband Ira (John Doman) and hunky paramour Daniel (John Shea). When Leslie finds herself pregnant, she’s afraid to tell Ira, and Daniel panics at the prospect that it might be his. Against the advice of best friend Susan (Mary Kay Place), Leslie opts for an abortion.
