Synopsis
Some rich couples, who were invited to the deputy governor’s home for his 10th Wedding Anniversary fall into uncontrollable panic and outright rage after the deputy governor is found with a bullet wound. His wife and domestic staff are not at home. As they try to calm the situation, they decide to come up with stories to hide what they think is going to be a huge scandal from the media and police.
Their cover-up stories become so intertwined that when the police arrive (to handle a completely different issue), they become so scared, they spill the beans.
