The trouble is Daisy knows David all too well: she used to be his wife, until he had an
affair with Fleur.Now they are expected round for dinner and Daisy is beginning to worry what her ex-husband might let slip.
While next door, in David and Fleur's house, they have just received some very worrying news from an unexpected quarter. And so the stage is set for an hilarious comedy of personal relationships.
