A tense social thriller that uses a deceptively simple game to expose the hidden fractures and secrets lurking beneath the surface of long-standing friendships.

During a lunar eclipse, seven friends gather for dinner and decide to play a game in which they must share with each other the content of every message, email or phone call they receive throughout the evening.
