Plot Summary

Jane, who owns a successful bakery in Santa Barbara, California, and Jake Adler, a successful attorney, have been divorced for 10 years. They had three children together, two girls and a boy, the youngest of whom has just left for college, leaving Jane feeling lonely. Jake has since married Agness, the much younger woman with whom he cheated on Jane. With Agness remaining home due to her son Pedro being ill, Jane and Jake attend their son Luke’s graduation from college in New York City. The two have drinks and have a pleasant evening reminiscing together, which leads to them ending up in bed together.

Jane instantly regrets what they’ve done, while Jake is thrilled and continues to pursue her when they return to Santa Barbara. They soon begin an affair. While Agness has Jake scheduled for regular sessions at a fertility clinic, Jake is secretly taking medication to decrease his frequent urination, the side effects of which are decreased sperm count and dizziness. After one of his sessions, he has a lunchtime rendezvous with Jane at a hotel. Jake collapses in the hotel room and a doctor is called. The doctor speculates that the reason for Jake’s distress may be the medication and says he should stop taking it. Jake and Jane’s children know nothing of the affair, but Harley, who is engaged to their daughter Lauren, spots the pair and the doctor in the hotel and endures considerable stress while keeping their secret.

After Jane spends an evening cooking an elaborate meal at Jake’s request and he doesn’t appear due to Agnes changing her plans, Jane ends the affair. She begins seeing Adam, the architect hired to remodel her home who is still healing from a divorce of his own. On the night of Luke’s graduation party in Santa Barbara, Jane invites Adam to the party.
