In this taut drama set during the festive season, the narrative revolves around a group of community members who participate in a financial partnership, known as a "partner," to save money for Christmas expenses. Sonia emerges as a voice of reason, advocating for the trustworthy Panton as a new partner, offering a glimmer of hope. However, their hopes are dashed when Ms. Sterling, a seemingly reliable member, absconds with the funds during the pivotal draw, leaving her fellow participants devastated and reminiscent of past scams they have endured. As the remaining members grapple with their financial losses and the quest for retribution, suspense builds when a determined debt collector confronts Ms. Sterling at the airport, unraveling the layers of her deception and raising questions about accountability and community resilience. Through its exploration of greed and integrity, the play challenges perceptions of morality while highlighting the fragility of trust within communal financial ventures.
