In this dark comedy, opportunistic Sunny Cannald (Teri Garr) is fed up with being married to bombastic butcher Ernie (Bruce McGill). So, when he ends up accidentally freezing to death in his shop's cold room following a fight with his business partner, Dave (John Lithgow), Sunny smells a way out. After Dave discovers the body, he's convinced that he's to blame and turns to Sunny for help -- but it'll be a frosty day in hell before that happens.
