By Invitation Only

The Lowcountry of South Carolina, at a barbecue engagement party thrown by Diane English Stiftel, her brother Floyd, and her parents to celebrate her son's engagement, is where By Invitation Only begins. On this magical night, the bride's father, Alejandro Cambria, a wealthy power broker and one of Chicago's celebrated elite, discovers the limits and possibilities of cell phone range. Meanwhile, the mother of the bride, Susan Kennedy Cambria, who believes herself deserving of every square inch of her multimillion-dollar penthouse, learns about moonshine and dangerous liaisons.
