It's 2004. The five founder members of POLIS meet to toast the success of their thinktank in the remote Derbyshire farmhouse where it all began. Fifteen years of second guessing the next big idea; fifteen years of shaping politics; fifteen years of thinking the unthinkable. They were once youthful idealists, are now influential thinkers and remain always good friends. But there's a spectre at the feast and a scandal is about to break that will ruin more than their birthday party.
