we don’t live here anymore

Jack and Terry, Hank and Edith, married couples, best friends and have so much in common. Jack and Hank are professors at Cedar County College, Terry and Edith are stay-at-home moms. Yet, the Evanses and Lindens are not the happy couples; they seem to be the loving parents determined to save marriages they secretly long to escape, as they struggle through their emotional and sexual entanglement. The story captures the fearless exploration of marriages on the edge, and reveals the perverse logic of infidelity, and the complicity, denial and occasional cruelty that can accompany it.

"You gotta admit... even adultery has morality to it."
