What happens in Tempted from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Charlie LeBlanc, Burt Reynolds, a construction contractor in New Orleans grappling with his mortality, begins a bold test of his wife Lilly LeBlanc, Saffron Burrows, who is thirty years his junior. He schemes to lure Lilly into an affair by enlisting a trusted, if reluctant, ally: Jimmy Mulate, a freelance carpenter, Peter Facinelli. Charlie lays out a tempting offer—$10,000 upfront, $50,000 if he succeeds, and a substantial $40,000 more if he can describe Lilly’s tattoo to Charlie in perfect detail—a gaudy test designed to strip away Lily’s defenses and reveal her true loyalties.
