Kimberly and Maurice is a young couple ready to start out in their new life together as husband and wife. Both are from traditional families whose ideas about marriage are rooted in traditional values. Yet Kimberly, in spite of her upbringing, is determined not to follow in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother in her role as wife.
From their very wedding day, outside influences begin to wreak havoc in their relationship. On the sidelines is Portia, an ex-lover who just cannot seem to get over her past relationship with Maurice. Toss in the marital problems of their parents and relationship issues with their friends, they soon begin to realize the significance that outside forces are having on fulfilling their vows of for better or worse.
Rather than being free to resolve their own marital problems, Kimberly and Maurice find themselves serving as marriage counselors to both of their parents after skeletons from the past find their way out of the closet.
