When Colin’s fiancée dies, he must be consoled in his grief. His married friends invite him round for comfort over tea and sandwiches. Understandably, they are on edge wondering what to say, but there is more to their unease.
As the tea is poured, it's clear that trouble is brewing with a wickedly funny blend of jealousy, infidelity and barely concealed loathing. Colin is the only happy one among them. Tension starts to boil and maybe Colin isn’t the one who needs help. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
