Synopsis: 
 
Cass makes a discovery about her husband, Kip, that makes her question her whole life since they met. She hops a bus to Niagara Falls, pulls out a list of all the things she gave up accomplishing when she married Kip, and begins checking them off! Her quirky list includes: "Go on The Newlywed Game", "Eat venison", "Have sex with a bell-hop." and goes on from there. In the process of finding enlightenment, Cass, be-friends a darkly funny, suicidal alcoholic, a romantic tour boat captain and a pair of bickering detectives. Hilarity ensues as she tries to keep from going over the falls!
