In this stunning and provocative domestic drama about a
sweet sixteen birthday party that goes horribly awry, a
wealthy family in San Francisco finds their picture-
perfect life unraveling, their darkest secrets revealed,
and their friends turned to enemies.
One invitation. A lifetime of regrets.
Sweet sixteen. It’s an exciting coming of age, a
milestone, and a rite of passage. Jeff and Kim Sanders
plan on throwing a party for their daughter, Hannah—a
sweet girl with good grades and nice friends. Rather than
an extravagant, indulgent affair, they invite four girls
over for pizza, cake, movies, and a sleepover. What could
possibly go wrong?
But things do go wrong, horrifically so. After a tragic
accident occurs, Jeff and Kim’s flawless life in a
wealthy San Francisco suburb suddenly begins to come
apart. In the ugly aftermath, friends become enemies,
dark secrets are revealed in the Sanders’ marriage, and
the truth about their perfect daughter, Hannah, is
exposed.
Harkening to Herman Koch’s The Dinner, Christos
Tsiolkas’s The Slap, and Liane Moriarty’s Big Little
Lies, The Party takes us behind the façade of the
picture-perfect family, exposing the lies, betrayals, and
moral lapses that neighbors don’t see—and the secrets
that children and parents keep from themselves and each
other.
