Abbie Slocum, a forty-something, average housewife and mother of teenage twin boys, is trying desperately to keep her outwardly idyllic life together while spiraling into a dark pit of menopausal insanity. Her mind races with crazy thoughts so outside of her normal character that it frightens her.  The only person she can share the graphic images from her hormonally addled mind with is her recently separated best friend, Rachel, and the mysteriously titillating Joan, Rachel’s friend from her singles support group. 
Women have survived this ‘female rite of passage’ since the beginning of time!  Why was Abbie having so much trouble handling it?  As the hot flashes and night sweats escalate and the battle to maintain her sanity rages on, Abbie, Rachel and Joan stumble into borderline comical circumstances that lead to all night parties, sex and drugs and two suspicious deaths. Abbie’s cop husband, Conrad, tries desperately to understand what’s happening to his normally sweet wife.  While Conrad vies for promotion, the Slocum family gets embroiled in a media frenzy that swirls around a murder trial in which Abbie must fight for her life.  Will her Mental Pause cause her to plead temporary insanity?
