Better Living Through Chemistry (2014)

In the quaint, unassuming town of Woodbury, Doug Varney, a competent yet unsatisfied pharmacist, finds himself shackled to an unfulfilling life. Trapped under the domineering shadow of his father-in-law, Walter Bishop, the original owner of Bishop's pharmacy, Doug struggles to assert his identity, even after he is handed the reins of the establishment. His home life mirrors the stifling dominance of his professional space, with his fiercely competitive cyclist wife Kara dictating the household, including their 12-year-old son Ethan's upbringing. Doug's life takes a curious twist when the enigmatic Elizabeth Roberts, a trophy wife discontent in her own marriage, steps into Woodbury and into Bishop's. They find solace in each other's dissatisfaction, weaving a clandestine affair that evolves into a chaotic joyride through the underbelly of Woodbury's quiet facade. Elizabeth, with her adventurous spirit, introduces Doug to the tantalizing world of recreational drug use, exploiting his pharmaceutical expertise to enhance their illicit escapades. As Doug's metamorphosis from a subdued pharmacist to a man intoxicated by thrill and rebellion unfolds, he is faced with a life-altering decision. Is he ready to take the plunge into the deep end by transforming his affair with Elizabeth into a permanent arrangement? This would inevitably involve a perilous plan to murder Elizabeth's wealthy older husband, Jack, in a bid to secure their future. Simultaneously, the arrival of DEA agent Andrew Carp for a routine inspection of the recently transferred pharmacy and Doug's inevitable encounter with Jack could potentially throw a wrench into their audacious plans. This thrilling journey of a man rediscovering himself through a web of sex, drugs, and potential murder promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
