A weekend on the wild, beautiful Dorset coast. Seven adults, six kids. A childminder, the ultimate special treat.
It should be perfect: old friends, a stunning house, champagne and wind-strung beaches. But it isn’t. Relationships won’t stay still. Memories won’t stay put. Then the parents take a night out, and come back to catastrophe.
Fourteen years earlier, five students in Edinburgh made an irrevocable mistake.
One they thought no-one else knew about. Until now.
