Reggie is feeling increasingly frustrated and alienated as he realises that he has worked at Groomtech for 10 years. Reggie's boss, Chris Jackson, introduces him to the beautiful Jasmine Strauss, the new head of balms and lubricants. His wife, Nicola, is too busy for him, so Reggie becomes a little besotted with Jasmine and even has a peek in her office.

Nicola's dad turns up for breakfast and Reggie's mother turns up unannounced just when Reggie was hoping for a rare romantic evening at home with Nicola. Reggie also finds himself unable to get along with his work colleagues and takes a step too far with Jasmine, Groomtech's new head of balms and lubricants.

Reggie ponders his life and considers teaching as a possible new career. He enjoys giving a talk at Nicola's school so much that he invites the class to spend a day at Groomtech, although the trip doesn't quite turn out as planned.

Reggie becomes increasingly frustrated with his life. Nicola, seems to prefer spending time with anyone but him. When he goes to Helsinki on a business trip with the beautiful Jasmine, Reggie's marriage to Nicola faces its biggest test. And Reggie's overbearing boss, Chris, has his eye on him.

Chris wants Reggie's help with the Groomtech board members when he is after a job.

When Groomtech holds it's office party, Reggie finds his crisis coming to a head.
