The Synopsis

British suburbanites Laurence and Beverly are entertaining their new neighbours, Angela and Tony as well as Susan, whose teenage daughter, Abigail is having a party to which Susan has been dis-invited.

Over drinks and snacks, cliches and fatuous small talk abound.

The tension escalates as the marital strain between Beverly and Laurence surfaces as Susan's anxiety over Abigail's party continues to accelerate with rock music and God-knows-what permeating the room.
