When life as a stay-at-home wife grows tedious and routine, Myrtle MacKaine struggles to gain independence from her domineering, over-achieving husband. Kevin's main focus is on his career and climbing the ladder of success. He considers himself a good husband, the sole breadwinner, and her protector. To the contrary, Myrtle feels ignored and denied the intimacy she craves. Opting to find companionship outside the walls of their home, she discovers happiness and purpose volunteering at a local charity. It eventually leads her down a road of opportunities never before imagined, including authoring an Irish cookbook and participation as an artistic nude model. A four-drawer, red file cabinet hidden away in the back of her closet becomes a storage place for donated recipes and extra copies of her newly published cookbook. But most importantly, it safeguards secret files linking her to sexually arousing adventures.
