IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES

The surprise news of Caroline and Dominic's impending divorce has provoked a variety of contrasting reactions from family members. Expressions of amazement and regret could have been expected, but there are those who took a more skeptical and sanguine view.

Caroline's father, Len, a retired police inspector, swears he saw it coming. After all, his daughter was always too good for the man she married. He has told her so on numerous occasions. She just needed to look at Charlie, her father-in-law, to see that Dominic was the unfortunate, flawed offspring of dysfunctional parents.

For former used car salesman, Charlie, the prospect of that devious snob, Len, contriving to restrict his access to the grandchildren is just too much to stomach. The arrogant copper has always gone out of his way to demonstrate his superiority and belittle Charlie's Cockney background and life choices. Time for a reckoning.

Over the years, the pent-up hatred of the two men for each other has been contained under a veneer of civility. As the truth behind the break-up of the marriage begins to surface, their paranoia takes a sinister turn.

Ignoring the pleas of their long-suffering wives, both men seek to gain the upper hand by involving family and friends in a clandestine attempt to dig up dirt on each other. But raking over the past takes an unexpected twist as their quest to find skeletons in the cupboards uncovers treacherous liaisons, awakes dormant emotions and rekindles old animosities.

Chaos comes thick and fast when paper tigers start to gain their stripes and innocent people start dying . . .

Irreconcilable Differences offers a dark yet humorous take on feuding families, the evolution of relationships in stressful times and the vagary of human emotions in moments of crisis.
