For more than thirty years, Edie and Richard Middlestein have lived in the suburbs of Chicago, and all this time their marriage has been teetering on the brink of divorce. From early childhood, Edie considered food a way not only to satisfy hunger, but also to express love, escape loneliness, and console herself in trouble. Neither the persuasion of her loved ones nor the arguments of reason could convince her to abandon this weakness. Richard sincerely wanted to help his wife and save his family, but his patience was not unlimited. Realizing that all his attempts were in vain, he was forced to retreat. From now on, everyone turned their backs on Eddie, even those closest to him. She will have to fight for her future herself.
