“If you woke up tomorrow to find you weren’t married to us, you’d be in for a few big surprises.”

Three couples, highly respected pillars of the Yorkshire community, gather to celebrate their joint silver wedding anniversaries. It's champagne toasts all round until their evening of pride and self-satisfaction is upended by an unexpected and deeply embarrassing revelation.

As scandal turns to farce, the couples are forced to confront long-buried truths, simmering resentments, and the liberating possibility of starting over.
