They cater to clients who suspect the infidelity of their loved ones, by hiring phony male and female suitors to deliver pick-up lines and "test" the faithfulness of the partners, while the men secretly videotape the come-ons; they then deliver the videotapes to the clients. The scheme works brilliantly, until Jack manages to unveil his ex-boss as a cheater and a chauvinist, and irritates one of his own conquests, Hannah (Jenna Harrison), in the process. Further problems arise as Jack's guilt grows about the negative impacts of his business on its victims - compounded by the fact that one of the upcoming "jobs" involves his own mother (screen vet Jenny Agutter). ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
