Len and Maxine Vember are known for throwing the best parties in town. After the drinks and polite laughter come the real invitations: husbands drop their house keys into a bowl, and wives draw for the night’s partner. It’s what passes for freedom and sophistication in the swinging 1960s.
For some, it’s the greatest sex of their lives. For others, it awakens desires they’ve buried for years. But for too many, it becomes a nightmare of fear, jealousy, and quiet coercion. Everyone pretends they’re choosing freely—until rumors spread, accusations surface, and the private games spill into daylight, leaving nobody untouched.
