Lucy and Owen, ambitious, thoroughly-therapized New Yorkers, have taken the plunge, trading in their crazy life in a cramped apartment for Beekman, a bucolic Hudson Valley exurb. They have got a 200-year-old house, an autistic child obsessed with the Titanic whose verbal ticks often appear to be a shattered record, and 17 chickens, at last count up. It's the sort of heaven where stay-at-home mothers team up to make the school's "hot lunchtime," dads barbeque grill grass-fed burgers, and, as Lucy observes, "chopping kale has become a certain kind of American housewife's version of chopping wood." When friends at a wine-soaked dinner party reveal they've made their matrimony open, smart Lucy balks. There's a part of her, though - the part that concerns she's become too comfortable being unseen - that's intrigued. Why not try a short marital experiment? Half a year, clear ground rules, zero questions asked. When an affair with a man in metropolis begins to seem more enticing than the happily-ever-after she's known for the past nine years, she must make a decision what truly makes her happy - "true to life," or the "experiment?"
