Rosalie is Catholic, therefore divorce isn't an option for her. Taking extreme measures, she enlists the help of her mother (played by Plowright), and co-worker Devo (played by Phoenix) to kill Joey in order to put an end to his infidelity. They also hire two incompetent hitmen (played by Hurt and Reeves).

However, Joey proves nigh on impossible to kill. Despite multiple attempts to poison, shoot, and bludgeon Joey to death, he remains blissfully unaware that he is being targetted.
