Eddie Stark is one lump of cynicism. He considers himself an expert in women and marriage. Eddie is a history teacher and applies the principles he teaches his students in his marriage: it's all about power, territory and property. He claims that women like to spoil the fun. When newlyweds Jeff and Steph Woodcock move in next door, Eddie can't help but give unsolicited advice to twentysomething Jeff about marital disputes. However, his meddling causes both men to clash with their wives more than once.
