Publisher's Synopsis
In a beautiful Brooklyn apartment, the weekend transpires placidly for a New York couple: Eleanor and Frank, two successful professionals who believe they have achieved emotional balance with what is, for both of them, their second marriage. On Sundays they tend to get together with a sophisticated circle of friends, and on this particular evening they are hosting a dinner in honor of a famous actor friend who they haven't seen in a while. Guests arrive and incorporate themselves quite naturally into the dinner preparations; the conversation is lively, the atmosphere is jovial. But when the friends leave and the couple is left alone, the tension that has been building over the past few hours comes to a head and threatens the stability in their relationship.
