Synopsis

John Whittaker, a young English man, falls madly in love with a sexy and glamorous American woman, Larita, and they impetuously get married. However when the couple arrive at the family home, his mother Veronica has an instant allergic reaction to her new daughter in law. Larita tries her best to fit in but fails to tiptoe through the minefield laid by her mother in law. Larita quickly realizes Veronica's game and sees that she must fight back if she's not going to lose John. A battle of wits ensues and sparks soon fly. Veronica manipulates every situation to undermine her, while Larita remains frustratingly calm and engineers sassy counter attacks. Before long, Veronica's manipulation starts to work on John and Larita feels their love is in danger of slipping away. In a grande finale, where the secrets from Larita's past are revealed, she finally makes a break for freedom from the suffocating house, followed by none other than Veronica's long suffering husband…
