What is The Drama about?

A week before their Boston wedding, Emma and Charlie play a party game of worst confessions with their best man and maid of honor — and Emma's secret (a teenage plan she abandoned, plus the true cause of her hearing loss) detonates the relationship. Kristoffer Borgli's romantic black comedy follows Zendaya and Robert Pattinson through rehearsal dinners, paranoia, and a reception that becomes a public reckoning about whether love can survive knowing someone fully.
