What’s the event about?
After ten years together, Rhys suddenly walks out on Bishop. Seven weeks of silence later, Rhys returns for a tense midnight visit, proposing a radical experiment: for one night, they will tell each other the absolute truth, no matter what. Fuelled by drinks and past grievances, this daring pact forces everything into the open. It’s either a brave new start for the couple or a final, clean break — no regrets either way.
Hidden resentments and heartfelt longings soon surge to the surface. But deeper secrets begin to emerge, secrets that threaten their very existence as a couple. How far can two people descend into the unexplored realms of the heart to save their relationship? And, ultimately, can they survive the truth?
