Description: When Ian receives a surprise phone call from an old university friend, inviting Ian and his wife, Em, for a few days by the sea, the couple agree to go. Their hosts, Ollie and Daisy, are a golden couple whose glamour and happiness drive Ian to distraction, and dangerous tensions quickly emerge. Beneath congenial yet charged conversation, the history of their relationship is uncovered. Ian and Ollie resurrect an almost forgotten bet made 20 years before. Each day becomes a series of challenges for higher and higher stakes, setting in motion actions that will have irreversible consequences.
