Gayle Ingold is at the end of her tether. Her husband of twelve years, Barny, is a classic slob. A man who leaves wet towels on the bed, toenail clippings in the shower, and is utterly blind to household mess.
Gayle’s frustration has reached a boiling point.
One Monday night, her life changed. She finds Barny obsessively cleaning the kitchen at 11 p.m., scrubbing pans with uncharacteristic fervour and offering unsolicited advice on cookware.
Something isn’t right in the Ingold household.
