Trevor and Nina are a married couple from New York high society. He is a prominent gynaecologist, she is the owner and head chef of a renowned Italian restaurant. Their marriage is far from ideal, due to a prenuptial agreement that is harsher than American football rules: whichever spouse files for divorce loses all assets, which automatically go to the other.

It is Christmas, and Trevor and Nina are throwing their traditional party. The only guests are the eccentric couple Imelda and Arthur. At first it looks like quite a boring party, but the agreement contains a small clause: a husband or wife who can prove infidelity to the other can file for divorce and keep all the assets. The Christmas party thus turns into a divorce battlefield.
