Four friends, four secrets, and one explosive weekend break that tests their loyalty and friendship.
Each woman feels that everyone else is living the perfect life, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Vivienne’s perfect life is a facade and she wants out.
Helen’s nightly glass of wine has become a bottle or two and her drinking is threatening her marriage. Clara feels she must lie to her husband to save her sanity and reach towards some freedom.
Miriam wanting to change her life does so in the most dramatic way possible.
Their Weekend break has life-changing consequences. As the weekend unfolds and their secrets are laid bare, will it be too much for some to cope with? Will their friendship and loyalty to each other survive the weekend break and its painful aftermath?
