Freddie and Stuart host a wake to mark the passing of a dear friend. Joined by their small circle of elderly friends, the couple manage to create a splendidly awkward evening of very little food and biting insults.
The couple are also joined by Ash, their new neighbour. Ash spends the evening attempting to be a good guest whilst fending off the advances of Freddie and Stuart's best friend, Violet.
