In 1990s Asheville, North Carolina, Alice, a refined woman of 38, finds her seemingly perfect marriage to Paul, a successful 42-year-old real estate agent, crumbling under the weight of his infidelity. Paul’s wandering eye leads him to a series of encounters with different women, each representing a fleeting escape from his perceived domestic constraints. Alice, initially passive, observes Paul’s betrayals, documenting her growing disillusionment in a private diary. She confronts him with her findings, leading to temporary promises of change, but Paul’s inability to commit ultimately results in his departure, leaving Alice to grapple with the ruins of her marriage.
Three years later, Alice, now living a solitary life filled with writing and reflection, encounters Henry McCaskill, a former history teacher who is captivated by her quiet strength. Their connection blossoms into a second chance at love, offering Alice a path towards healing and a genuine partnership built on honesty and mutual respect. “I’ll Do Anything You Want” explores the complexities of marriage, the power of silence, and the possibility of finding love again after heartbreak, revealing that true love lies not in empty promises, but in authentic connection and self-discovery.
