One of Us Is Lying meets The Inheritance Games with the vibes of Saltburn - a seductively commercial thriller tapping into the trend of dark academia and decadence from stand-up comedian Kate Weston.

It’s the party you’d KILL to be invited to…

As Evie and her friends – dubbed the ‘coterie’ in homage to her grandmother’s legendary group of artists – graduate from their elite private school, they prepare to host one last epic summer party at Evie's family mansion, D’olobelle. The D’olobelle parties are notorious, with everyone desperate for an invite and a taste of the debauchery.

And the Coterie are determined this year’s party will be the most scandalous yet.

The Coterie:

Hugo: The suave and charming golden boy, and Evie’s devoted boyfriend, whose charisma hides deeper complexities.

Jess: The passionate vegan influencer who struggles with her principles – especially when she stress-eats chorizo.

Tim: The hot mess with a drink perpetually in hand and a knack for self-sabotage.

Cecil: The fashion-loving intellect who’s too clever for their own good, always ready to dissect the drama.

And Evie herself, queen bee of their elite private school and aspiring actress. She wants this last summer to be perfect.

But as the festivities unfold, a series of chilling ‘accidents’ begin to plague the group. And it seems that each of them has something to hide. Who is targeting them, and what dark secrets are lurking just beneath the surface?

And as eerie photos of the previous coterie emerge, it becomes clear that D’olobelle is not just a backdrop for their celebration – it holds secrets of its own.

Can the Coterie unravel what is going on – or will the last summer at D’olobelle be their last summer of all?

A deliciously dark comedy thriller, perfect for fans of Laura Steven and Bella Mackie.
