On a whim, Leah finds herself captivated by McKenna, a woman who lives the polished but otherwise mirror-image life of her own. While McKenna spends her days catering to her husband's every need and hoping to grow pregnant, Leah whiles away the hours drunk and mourning the career she once loved. When an opportunity arises to "save" McKenna, Leah doesn't hesitate. Will McKenna do the same for Leah?

A slight twist on the Strangers on a Train concept, but not a particularly interesting one. What really got me was how Leah was able to watch McKenna for so long and drive around so close to the city (so presumably, with other cars around) without getting into any trouble while she was drinking. You mean to tell me she didn't kiss a single bumper? I could not suspend my disbelief.
