Emily Harlow is married to a hoarder, and maybe that's why she is a professional organizer who helps people declutter their lives. At the moment, Emily is aiding an elderly widow whose husband left behind a storage unit she didn't know existed. Emily's other new client is a young wife whose husband won't allow her stuff into their house. The initial meeting with the woman takes a detour when, after too much wine, they end up fantasizing about how much more pleasant life would be without their collecting spouses. But the next day Emily finds herself in a mess that might be too big for her to clean up, and now she might lose her freedom, her marriage—and possibly her life.
