SYNOPSIS:

Alex and Kate Snow are a successful power couple in the world of finance. Trouble is, while Kate is quite satisfied with her life and her place in Alex's, he is definitely unhappy with his life and his place in Kate's. She becomes painfully aware of this when a simple disagreement quickly deteriorates into a black eye for Alex and wounded pride for her. They seek help for their marriage at a psychiatric center called SHRINKS, but Kate's mind is clearly more open than Alex's. He storms out of Dr. Fitch's office after only a few minutes of her professional opinion. Well, at least he thought he was storming out, but this doctor subtly steers him into a room that proves these SHRINKS mean business. Alex is reduced to a height of 9", put in a box and given to his wife with the announcement that her troubles are over. The doctor also informs Kate that if she leaves Alex that way and brings him back for some intensive marriage counseling his bad attitude should improve greatly due to his diminished capacity. Kate agrees to the doctor’s unique solution to her marital troubles and soon realizes that she, too, must face the contributions she’s made to her marriage’s distress, plus elude the nosy detectives who think she has murdered her missing husband, she also realizes that her troubles have just begun.
