The restaurant will be over-priced and pretentious, and almost everything about the charismatic Serge does, will infuriate him. But tonight's get-together will be worse than usual because there is something the two couples have to discuss. When the small talk is over, the conversation will turn to teenage sons. And the terrible thing they have done. And how far the four of them will go to save their children from the consequences of their actions.
