There's Kitty Golden, beautiful ex-model and wife of New York financier Saul Abelson, some 25 years her senior. Each has their own reason to be there - but while Saul feels lost in love for his young wife, Kitty has her sights set elsewhere. Dubliner Mary Dunne is on board with no less than eight members of her boisterous Irish family. They're all there to enjoy themselves, but for Mary, the stakes are higher as she has her own private - and nerve-wracking - mission to attend to. "Retired" evangelicals Susie and Jay Tanner cause mumblings to stir with their unorthodox behaviour, but finding out what's behind it proves enchantingly elusive to some observers.

And she just might be right...
