Jill Is Not Happy

Jill and Jack Tingley live in Southern California. They met in college, they are wealthy and well liked, and from the outside their life looks enviable. Privately they have drifted apart. With their daughter Maggie now away at college, Jill proposes a road trip to Utah so the two of them can reconnect.

Jack would rather be anywhere else. He has stayed married for two reasons: a tragedy in the couple's past that they both want kept buried, and Maggie. He has decided to file for divorce the moment they get home. What he does not know is that Jill is keeping something from him too.

The trip becomes a cat-and-mouse game between a calculating wife and a husband who wants out. Jill insists everything is fine. She still loves Jack, believes he is the one for her, and has always done whatever it takes to hold on to him.

This is a domestic thriller with a dark comic edge, told around a marriage that is coming apart. The pairing of a cunning, controlling spouse and a reluctant one in a shared car keeps the pressure tight, and each mile pushes both of them closer to the secret they have buried.
