Cruise and Kidman play William and Alice Harford, a physician and a gallery manager who are wealthy, successful, and travel in a sophisticated social circle. A visit to a formal-dress party leads them into sexual temptation and while neither is a stranger to sexual experimentation, William and Alice have preferred not to confront each other's adulterous impulses. However, once the issue has been brought into the open, it begins a dangerous season of erotic gamesmanship for both partners.
