Belinda is a bank manager who wants to retire, but her house husband, David, likes things the way they are, and doesn't want to go back to work.

Not keen at all on the prospect of returning to the world of regular full-time employment, he does everything he can to persuade Belinda to continue wearing the trousers - or at least keep bringing home the bacon!

As the couple face the realities of their situation - not least the chances of David finding employment after a decade out of the job market - each is forced to think about their position and what they'd really like to do.
