It's an upper class gathering written about in The Times and Tatler - celebrity caterer Prudence Golightly has invited her nearest and dearest to celebrate the engagement of two esteemed members of New York and London society, her best friend, Chastity Purewater, and American banker, Blake Manly. The Roaring 20s are in full flow, and although prohibition reigns in Manhattan, the rich and famous continue to wine and dine in Blighty against a backdrop of jazz, flappers and champagne, with the Great War all but a distant memory. However, beneath the veneer of wealth and glamour lie salacious secrets and dastardly dark intentions. The question is: Will you survive My Deadly Valentine?
