A Good Marriage

In the quiet coastal town of Portland, Maine, a modest house shelters a marriage that has settled into a comfortable rhythm after more than two decades together. Darcy Anderson and her husband Bob, an unassuming accountant, run a niche mail‑order business that appraises and sells rare coins—a quiet livelihood that keeps their days filled with catalogues, careful deliveries, and the gentle hum of shared routines. Their world is one of soft domesticity, where the most exciting moments are the discovery of a new coin or the occasional trip to a local diner, and the couple’s easy banter masks the deeper currents that run beneath a long‑standing partnership.

Beneath the polished veneer of this ordinary life, an undercurrent of unease begins to surface when Darcy stumbles across something that doesn’t quite belong in their tidy existence. A hint of a hidden past, hinted at by an odd artifact and a faint trail of forgotten paperwork, suggests that Bob may be carrying secrets far darker than the modest mysteries of numismatics. The tone of the film sways between the warm familiarity of a long‑married pair and the growing tension of a quiet thriller, inviting the audience to wonder what shadows linger in the corners of a seemingly perfect marriage.

As the story unfolds, the couple’s once‑steady foundation is tested by the delicate balance between love, trust, and the unsettling possibility that the life they have built may conceal a sinister truth. The film’s atmosphere is steeped in low‑key suspense, punctuated by the gentle rustle of daily life in a small New England town, leaving viewers poised on the edge of discovery. The central question—what will Darcy choose to do when the veil is lifted—anchors the narrative, promising a psychological journey that probes the limits of devotion when the familiar turns uncanny.
