Fern attends a dinner party to meet her new boyfriend's family — which consists of his wife and the other members of their polyamorous household. An outsider to their world of consensual non-monogamy and its unfamiliar rules and norms, Fern struggles to keep up and to fit in. Written in rhyming verse and inspired by Molière, The Polycule explores the conventions of unconventional relationships.
