Even paradise has shadows. July 2025. Tash and Mark host a birthday weekend for their son, Dom, at their luxury villa on a Greek island, inviting a select list of people to celebrate. As the drinks flow, the unthinkable happens when Tashs sister drowns, vanishing without a trace.

No one suspects foul play except for Tash. July 2026. One year on, Tash hosts a party for the same guests who were there when Emma died.

But if the villa holds the secrets to what happened, it also hides a killer…
