ALL STELLA AND GEORGE HAVE TO DO IS…

Hide their breakup

After a series of blazing rows about everything from Jurassic Park to installing car seats for their (hypothetical) children, Stella and George are getting divorced.

Catch a murderer*

But first, Stella’s mum is throwing a murder mystery party - and with her dad losing his job and her mum’s recent diagnosis, now is hardly the time to tell everyone.

Make it through one last family party

Stella and George just have to get through the day without their breakup being discovered - though it will soon turn out that keeping secrets runs in the family…
