Taylor Wild, a charismatic but frustrated woman in her late thirties, feels invisible in her passionless marriage to her work-obsessed husband. The walls of their stylish suburban home do little to muffle the sounds of her stepson, Ethan Seeks, a confident college senior whose romantic escapades with a revolving door of admirers echo through the house. Taylor’s curiosity—and envy—grows as she wonders how Ethan, barely out of his teens, commands such effortless charm and energy.Over coffee with her sharp-witted best friend, Lena, Taylor vents her frustrations and jokingly speculates that Ethan must be sneaking her husband’s “little blue pills” to keep up his relentless pace. Lena laughs off the idea, insisting a young guy like Ethan doesn’t need chemical help, and challenges Taylor to confront her own desires instead of fixating on her stepson’s exploits. Their banter sparks a mix of humor and tension, forcing Taylor to question what she’s missing in her life and whether her fascination with Ethan’s confidence hints at deeper, unspoken longings.As Taylor navigates her strained marriage and the electric atmosphere at home, a series of awkward yet charged encounters with Ethan blur the lines between curiosity and temptation. Will Taylor find a way to reignite her own spark, or will her envy lead her down a risky path? Pulse of Envy is a witty, provocative dramedy about desire, self-discovery, and the unexpected ways we confront what’s missing in our lives.
