Quite the ladies' man himself, Felix is familiar with the ways a man might cheat, but the more time Laura spends with her wealthy, flirtatious, boozy and unstable father, the more she realizes how much she really needs and wants to feel unconditional love from the men in her life. But still the question nags at her, and so she has to know: is her husband cheating on her?
