What is How The Other Half Loves about?

Three couples, two homes, one laugh-out-loud domestic farce. 

When Fiona Foster and Bob Phillips find themselves under suspicion from their respective spouses, they hatch a seemingly harmless plan to protect themselves. Their solution? Enlist the unsuspecting Featherstones as their perfect alibi. But as one little lie leads to another, three couples become entangled in an increasingly chaotic web of deception, misunderstandings and hilariously awkward encounters. 

The confusion spirals delightfully out of control in this sharp-witted comedy packed with clever twists and laugh-out-loud moments.
