Synopsis:

'My Ex' tells the story of three, very different, married couples who all recently decided to buy a new house. The three houses they buy are in a cul-de-sac on an up market estate. A few weeks after they move in, one of the couples invites the others to a 'get-to-know-each-other' dinner party. Each individual person knows there is something special about the evening from the beginning, but as the conversations develop before and after dinner, they all end up getting to know more than they bargained for.
