FOUR WOMEN.

Orly, Lenny, Mel and Thea have been best friends since school. But now it is 20 years later and inevitably they have drifted apart.

ONE WEEKEND.

It is Lenny's 40th birthday, plus Orly and Mel need cheering up, so Thea suggests a weekend away at a festival in their hometown. It's a chance for them all to reconnect.

NOT ALL OF THEM WILL SURVIVE.

But their holiday soon takes a sinister turn, and not all of the friends will leave the festival alive...

The perfect dose of thrills and suspense, this will keep you engrossed to the very end

Evening Telegraph
Gripping, tense, taut and brilliant. You'll be begging your friends to read it so you can discuss it over and over again

grips like a vice, with characters which leap from the page. Naughton's depiction of motherhood from different perspectives is as refreshing as it is evocative
Rachael Blok
A taut, tense thriller packed with emotion
