Your daughter says your best friend’s son did something terrible…

When her oldest friend Sabine invites her on holiday, it’s exactly what Nicky needs. After the shock of discovering her husband’s infidelity, she’s in need of some sun, sea and support, from someone she would trust with her life.

Together with Nicky’s daughters, and Sabine’s teenage son, they settle into an easy holiday existence on the beautiful island of Zante. Maybe Nicky and Sabine don’t have as much in common as they once did, and maybe their different parenting styles cause a little tension, but both women are sure their friendship is stronger than the bickering.

But then Nicky’s daughter accuses Sabine’s son of something that sends shockwaves through the two families. And for two best friends, everything is about to change. Forever…
