  • Synopsis

    Irish builder and paid-up Golden Circle member Noel and his wife, May, throw a party for dodgy but very plausible English couple, Julian and June, in Dublin. The dinner party is unforgettable - for all the wrong reasons. Years later, Julian and June are forced to return the compliment in London. A lot has changed - for better or worse?
