For a small group of friends a flight to the South of France marks the beginning of a well-earned holiday, the fourth they have spent at the Villa Mimosa in Antibes. It is a place they have come to love, the sun, the sea, the palms. But this year it will be different.

It only takes a split second of panic on one of their parts to compromise all of them. The easy camaraderie that once bound them together cracks and falls away. All are prisoners of fear and guilt, and there is no one to rescue them but themselves.
