A mutual settlement between two sets of middle class New York parents over their violent sons, degenerates into war.
Black comedy of manners about seemingly civilised people becoming quite the reverse, amusing realistic as it unfolds though staying close to its theatrical origins, with no other discernible purpose or point by the end, save to allow a talented cast to act increasingly angrier.
