He works as a corrections officer, but that is only for a living. His explosive wife Joyce, played by Julianna Marguiles, doesn’t believe that he goes to play poker games and alleges that he cheats on her.

This sets off a chain of events, leading to a complete turmoil, throwing him off balance and off key. His humdrum existence is stirred to the core. This gives him an idea.
