After a promising publisher meeting, aspiring Australian writer Daniel arrives catastrophically late to lunch at his girlfriend's British country estate. His headache-addled afternoon descends into surreal chaos: an uncle whispers to paintings, the mother weaponises etiquette, and a brother's theatrical display reads like romantic overture. All the while, the mansion's unseen patriarch surveils through crackling intercoms and an ancient security system's feed. By dawn, "Daddy's" crushing monologue forces Daniel to face facts: he's not the next great novelist - just fresh meat in this family's twisted fun house.
