Synopsis

The appropriately named Lucky Mann is a contractor equally handy at repairs and seduction. The latest lonely housewife to succumb to his charms is Marianne, childless and unhappy with her marriage to business-obsessed Jeffrey. When Jeffrey coincidentally becomes enraptured by Lucky’s wife, the fading former starlet Phyllis, the four get caught in a tangled-up love quadrangle that reignites their tired marriages.
