A picture-perfect Greek paradise
As the blazing sun beats down on the white sand, Charlotte settles back on her sun lounger with her baby daughter while her husband and two sons play nearby. Their surroundings at this exclusive luxury resort on the sun-drenched island of Corfu could not be more idyllic. But the company itself is far from perfect: her husband’s business partner – and the woman he left his wife for.

An Unexpected Guest
And then Charlotte catches sight of someone she hasn’t seen in years. Gemma was once her closest school friend but while Charlotte has settled into the comfortable, albeit guilt-tinged luxury of being a stay-at-home mother, Gemma is juggling parenting with her role as her family’s main breadwinner, only able to stay at the resort as part of an all expenses paid trip as a journalist. When Gemma begins asking casual questions about Charlotte’s previous trip to the island, Charlotte is forced to look at her own privileged life through the critical eyes of someone she left behind.

The Deadly Truth
As Charlotte continues to fight to make this the perfect family holiday, battling against fractious children and an overworked husband, not to mention an unexpected break in, she becomes haunted by the feeling that Gemma’s unexpected arrival is no mere coincidence. And as the temperatures rise alongside the tension between the guests, Charlotte is forced to confront the cracks in her picture-perfect life…
