The Swearing Jar is Carey's story: a high-school music teacher who throws a birthday concert for her husband, Simon, which rekindles reminiscences of their past. Through comedy, music and memory, we follow the story of Carey and Simon's relationship, the birth of their child... and the lie that threatens to f*&k it all up!
