Out of Order
I suppose this is the story of the beauty and brutality of a long-term marriage as seen through the eyes of a writer who aspires to make art, but makes his living writing popcorn movies. Someone who wants to be a good man, but finds himself contemplating many crimes. Someone who is guilty of the crime of being human. Someone whose life is the only movie he can't rewrite. Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
After 16 years of marriage, a man finds himself attracted to another woman while dealing with his wife's emerging mental illness.
Mark and Danni explore the possibility of an affair with each other, while Lorna is continuing a downward spiral of self destruction.
Mark continues his relationship with Danni. Flashbacks recall their difficulty conceiving a second child as well as Lorna's miscarriage. Mark sees a psychic as research for a script.
Mark learns of his Jewish heritage. Stephen shows up drunk and throws a plant through Mark and Lorna's window. Mark confronts both Stephen and Lorna about the mysterious Teddy, but gets a straight answer from neither. Mark flashbacks to the first time he was almost unfaithful to Lorna (with a prostitute) and sleeps with Danni for the second time.
Mark has a recurring dream about a rat. Danni starts seeing a divorce lawyer. Lorna's sleeping pill causes her to begin sleepwalking, which leads to Mark losing a lot of sleep. Mark learns the truth about something in his past and breaks up with Danni... but maybe not for good.
Mark and Lorna celebrate their seventeenth anniversary. Mark discovers who Teddy is from an unlikely source... The truth about Lorna's addictions comes out. Danni makes a startling revelation to Mark, forcing him to make a decision about where his life is headed.
