She married her husband ten years ago, who runs a chain of creative cuisine restaurants across the country. The reality of her life has diverged greatly from the dreams she once held, leaving her burdened with inner turmoil. The loneliness and sorrow over her inability to conceive a child strike at her core as a woman. Though she hasn't given up, the absence of intimacy with her husband drives her to seek fulfillment through adultery, using infidelity to fill the emptiness inside.
