​

At his expensive sophisticated townhouse, Charlie, the Deputy Mayor of New York is supposedly preparing to celebrate his tenth wedding anniversary. However, the celebration is cut short when Charlie suffers a self-inflicted gunshot wound which in turn sets off a series of events causing four couples, arriving to attend the anniversary party, to conspire in a farcical and futile attempt to cover up the facts. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.
