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.

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
