Plot
Harry Mackenzie works in a steel mill factory during the day and returns to a comfortable marriage each night, which, while lacking excitement and passion, is stable. His wife Kate and their adult daughters, Helen and Sunny, celebrate Harry's 50th birthday. Kate encourages him to visit his favorite corner tavern and enjoy himself. There, his friends, including Nick, hold a birthday celebration and gift him a Seattle Seahawks jersey. Harry meets Audrey Minelli, a newly-hired barmaid, who captures his interest. Harry flirts endlessly and dances with her.
The next day, Harry sees Audrey again. He drives her to a nearby restaurant, where she states she has been recently widowed. As Harry has a second date, Kate's coworker Susie witnesses Harry kiss Audrey, and then tells Kate about the affair. When Kate returns home, she questions Harry about Audrey. Harry confesses to the affair, and tells Audrey that Kate knows about their relationship. Audrey responds that for the affair to continue, he needs to choose either her or Kate.
Harry's affair infuriates Sunny, who is having a difficult marriage herself with her husband Keith. Harry's adult son Jerry arrives into town and scolds his father for having an affair. As Harry has drinks with Nick, Sunny brings her mother into the tavern to confront her father. Harry tries to quiet his daughter but it escalates into an argument, in which Harry leaves the bar with Kate. Sunny tells Audrey to leave her father alone. Audrey is then fired from her job.
Audrey approaches Harry when he leaves work and suggests they should end their affair. Harry however is unconcerned about his family's reaction to their affair. He returns home and tells Kate he wants a divorce. Kate mourns the end of their marriage, and Harry consoles her. With a new direction in life, Harry moves into his own apartment and resumes his relationship with Audrey. Meanwhile, Helen and Sunny encourage their mother to move on, but Kate yells at them and demands more time to cope.
As Harry and Audrey enjoy life together, Helen tells Sunny she will not attend college and instead marry her boyfriend, Tim. Sunny however disapproves, stating that married life is difficult. Before long, Kate strives to start a new chapter in life, in which she changes her hair, gets her ears pierced, and returns to her salon workplace. As Kate prepares for Helen's wedding, Sunny questions her mother if she would hypothetically take Harry back. Kate replies she is unsure, but if she did, it would be her decision.
The night before the wedding, Harry visits Helen at the house. He tells Helen not to rush into marriage too early, but Helen reassures him that her marriage will succeed. Harry attends the wedding, and afterwards, he congratulates Tim as his new son-in-law. Harry tries to make amends with Sunny, but she refuses. The family takes a photo together before Tim and Helen drive away for their honeymoon. However, Kate does not invite Harry to the reception, though Harry remains cordial with Jerry. Harry leaves the church with a bouquet of wedding flowers, certain in his new future with Audrey.
