"Elizabeth Baskin loves her husband Roger, but lately he hasn't been all that interested in their relationship. He's let himself go physically, he's never, romantic, and they hardly ever even talk. When her sister tells Elizabeth about a "doctor" who has come up with an herbal potion that will pull her husband out of his rut, her initial response is skeptical. But as she becomes more desperate to save her marriage, Elizabeth decides that it can't hurt to try it. When she does the potion works wonders. But pretty soon Elizabeth realizes that the potion has changed her husband, and he is no longer the man she married, and she must come up with an antidote, or loose the man she now realizes is the love of her life."
