I am a happy housewife. I have everything my heart could desire.' Meet Lea, an immaculate thirtysomething who thinks emancipation is a dirty word and that God should have made women out of plastic. Her over-worked husband Harry seems happy to finance her glossy lifestyle but one day he announces it's payback time. He wants a baby. Lea is mortified but eventually agrees to Harry's demand in exchange for sex on a daily basis and a new Filipino maid. Harry Jnr's arrival, after a labour of epic dreadfulness, puts an end to Lea's career as a lady who lunches. While everyone around her is over the moon about the new baby, Lea is no longer a happy housewife. Stripped of her comforts and her distractions, she will have to confront herself and a past tragedy before she can face the future. But have the years of cosseting left her too vulnerable?
