Plot

Ken and Maria, a married couple who have not had sex in a year, decide to invite two other couples to an orgy to spice up their sex lives. However, Mark and Katherine arrive dealing with relationship baggage that complicates their ability to participate, with Mark spending much of the event outside on the deck, while Jason has actually broken up with the girlfriend who was formerly part of the group's circle of friends, and instead arrives with his new love interest Ginny, a bisexual woman the rest of the group have never met.
