The film chronicles the life of a woman named Pippa Lee (Robin
Wright), with flashbacks to her tumultuous past. Pippa Sarkissian (Blake
Lively) was the youngest child and only girl in her large Christian family.
Her mother Suky (Maria Bello) was a neurotic mother
with an obsessive fixation on her daughter's looks. By her teen years, Pippa
discovers that her mother takes amphetamines in order to self-medicate her
vast mood swings. She has a confrontation with her mother by taking drugs that
results in Pippa leaving home and moving in with her aunt and roommate, who are
in a lesbian relationship.
After a time, the aunt discovers Pippa participating in erotic photo sessions
with the roommate and her friends and Pippa is banished from that apartment and
goes on to live a bohemian life of drugs and working as an exotic
dancer. On a weekend jaunt with like-minded friends, she meets a
charismatic publisher named Herb Lee who is 30 years older than
she is and a romance develops between the young woman and
the older man. The couple marry, have two children and later move into a
retirement home in Connecticut. Through her marriage, Pippa has become the
"perfect wife": loving, supportive, everything to everyone and no one
to herself. The couple grow apart; Herb has an affair with one of Pippa's
friends and middle-aged Pippa has encounters with a younger man named Chris.
After Herb dies from a heart attack, Pippa finally breaks with her life of
subservience and refuses to set up the burial, leaving the details to her
children. The film ends with Pippa driving off with Chris.
