Plot: At a dinner party with old friends, Mandy and Alan, and a new lover, Jules, Piper finds herself confronting the danger of moving too quickly in love—at her own risk. Over the course of the evening, Jules grows only more enigmatic (why does she know how to skin a cat?), while cracks in Mandy and Alan’s marriage deepen (what’s behind Alan’s obsession with the sauna?)
