Opening with Nick (Joe Alwyn) telling Frances (Alison Oliver) that what they’re doing (AKA: sneaking around behind Nick’s wife’s back) is “insanely risky”, the trailer is off to a scandalising start.

“Would it depress you to sleep with someone who loved someone else,” Frances then asks her best-friend and ex-girlfriend Bobbi (Sasha Lane). 

“Not if they loved me too,” Bobbi answers.

Queue Frances’ “I’m incapable of love” monologue which is quickly contradicted by scenes of her and Nick partaking in a steamy and sensual romance, while Bobbi and Nick’s wife Melissa (Jemima Kirke) grow closer as well.
