Hey

After ten years of marriage, New York millionaire socialite couple Brad and Caroline Sexton are miserable and have decided to call it quits. Their marital problems come to a head earlier that evening when Brad (Allen) turns their tenth anniversary party into a real estate development pitch for a theme park he calls "The Holy Land", modeled after Biblical lore.
