Answer: Sometimes just one night.
From the outside the parents of the kindergarten class at Darley Heights primary school seem to have it all. Living in the wealthy Sydney suburbs, it’s a community where everyone knows each other – and secrets don’t stay secret for long.
The big date in the calendar is the school’s annual fundraising trivia night, but when the evening gets raucously out of hand, talk turns to partner-swapping. Initially scandalised, it’s not long before a group of parents make a reckless one-night-only pact.
But in the harsh light of day, those involved must face the fallout of their behaviour. As they begin to navigate the shady aftermath of their wild night, the truth threatens to rip their perfect lives apart – and revenge turns fatal.
The Darley Heights area of Sydney is fictional but to be fair, the setting here could be any well to do area of any city. The location is not the area of focus here but the people who live in a wealthy suburb and think they are amune to the emotions and moral standards that others live by. They are supposed to be having a fundraising night but they end up having a partner swapping night. As you do. Suffice to say that what should stay in that club, has a tendency to not stay in that club.
