The Trouble With Jessica
Married couple Sarah (Shirley Henderson) and Tom (Alan Tudyk) are in terrible financial trouble. On the brink of losing everything, they’ve managed to find a buyer for their stylish London home. When their best friends Richard (Rufus Sewell) and Beth (Olivia Williams) come over for a final dinner, an uninvited old friend, Jessica (Indira Varma), tags along.
After the evening goes utterly awry, knives come out and best-kept secrets are revealed in this laugh-out-loud dark comedy featuring a starry ensemble cast of phenomenal U.K. talent.
