Gary and his new girlfriend, Claire, are visiting Gary's ex-wife, Julie, and her partner for dinner. Gary and Julie have a young son together and congratulate themselves on behaving like adults and putting Adam first. But as the canapés are served, the cracks appear in this civilised party and the champagne saucer is not the only thing that looks set to be smashed.

A 50th birthday gathering goes horribly wrong when the hostess serves her sister and their husbands deadly wild mushrooms. A year on, three out of four of them are on dialysis and the family seems broken. Spores is a darkly comic family drama exploring the things that poison us against each other.
