A housewife escapes marital malaise only to find the swinging scene just as empty.
DROP OUT WIFE
A young housewife gets involved in the "swinging" scene and discovers that it isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Proof that the grass isn't always greener on the swinger's side.
Drop Out Wife offers a candid look at marital ennui and the not-so-glamorous reality behind the era's swinging subculture. Written by Edward D. Wood Jr. and directed by Stephen C. Apostolof, this is no rose-tinted romance—just a parade of questionable men and even more questionable choices.
