Set in the 1970’s, a group of friends hold a reunion tea party for Colin, whom they feel needs help getting over his grief for his drowned fiancée, whom they never met. They wonder what they will say to him but, when he arrives, their tensions contrast with his cheerful relaxation. He reminisces and offers them advice on their relationships but does more harm than good.
