A couple – of two women – prepares a dinner for two guests.
The guests, also a couple – a cis man and woman, who navigate their heteronormativity, permeating themselves with conversational ideals and archaic ideologies – are workmates of one of them.
The guests arrive. The tension rolls. One enters into an evening, out into the night, of conversations, food and drinks and perverse little games.
But if the revelation about the hostesses’ relationship was the starting point for the eventful evening, things will get even more tense and confusing when they reveal that, in addition to girlfriends, both are 300-year-old vampires.
