Publisher's Synopsis
Tess and Jerry Brennan sit in the drawing room of their wonderful house high above the sea, waiting for the police to arrive. Having led comfortable, even charmed, lives up to this point, everything they have achieved is in freefall: their family lives, their friendships, their marriage. Tess is facing the devastating outcome of her innocent actions and Jerry has been caught out in a misdemeanor. Adding to Tess's agitation is the knowledge that her two best friends, Rita and Maddy, are facing parallel traumas in their own relationships.
