“We’re dying of manners. We’re under siege from personal embarrassment.”
While on holiday, Peter and Debbie befriend Elsa, an eccentric, Trump-supporting widow from Denver. They agree to stay in touch, knowing it’s unlikely to happen. However, Elsa has other ideas and invites herself to stay. Things start to go awry when disturbing evidence about the house guest’s past is discovered online. It seems Peter and Debbie might have put themselves and their family in peril but are they too polite to do anything about it?
Moffat’s comedy of manners takes a satirical look at social decorum and English middle-class civility, exploring the unintended and dire consequences of being too nice.
