2000s: Never mention The Pact to anyone.
Would you stake your life on your marriage?
Newlyweds Jake and Alice are offered a mysterious wedding gift – membership of a club which promises its couples will never divorce.
Signing The Pact seems the start to a perfect marriage.
Until one of them breaks the rules.
The marriage of their dreams is about to become their worst nightmare.
Because The Pact is for life.
And its members will do anything to make sure no one leaves . .
The Pact takes place in and around the rich and privileged houses and social haunts of California. Half Moon Bay, Hillsborough and the surrounding San Mateo County. Having said that, the real location is within a marriage, anywhere.
Not anyone off the street can join THE PACT. Newlywed couples have been vetted and invited in. If they accept – they each receive ‘The Manuel’ …. which they are told to memorize….with rules to follow:
“Created in 1992 on a small island off northern Ireland by Orla Scott. The Pact has increased exponentially in size and commitment since that day. While our rules and bylaws have changed, our membership has grown, and our members have spread far and wide, the mission and spirit of The Pact remain true to the concept in the beginning”.
