Steamy chemistry, an instant pregnancy, and a full-blown disaster serve as the background for the relationship between Audrey ("a woman who smells extraordinarily good") and Frank ("a robust lover").

Audrey has to face reality and her new roommate: Frank. She introduces him to her brother, Patrick, who makes life royally hard for them. Frank reconnects with Dave, an old school friend, who has turned into a charming bastard.

Audrey's hormones cause her to experience waves of sexual arousal and sadness, as well as a host of other worries. Frank has difficulty getting advertising contracts. Audrey meets an old flame by chance.

Living in the Magdalen Islands, Audrey's parents visit her; their first meeting with Frank is not ideal. Other problems arise in Audrey's health, complicating her pregnancy and creating stress for the couple.
