Pam was always the perfect hostess — until the night there were more floral arrangements than suitable vases, the divorcee didn’t want her canapé and the guests formed charade teams and began to have cheap, competitive fun.
But that’s what happens when you have Cocktails at Pam’s.
Being the perfect hostess is not easy; it’s a fine art of pearls and gowns, repartee and knowing the difference between the maid and the cook. But Pam believes she has everything under control — until the unthinkable happens.
Will she hold it together?
Will her brother successfully pick up the cute, young actress?
Will her best friends, Sara and Virgil, actually make it through the night without a full make-out session in the middle of the party?
You’ll need to see it to find out.
