The Fisher family are on holiday . . .
Mum, Dad. And their three grown-up daughters
- Alex, Nancy and Eva - plus their young families.
Sisters with differences, yes -
but these are quickly glossed over.
This is not a family of secrets, lies or even half-truths.
Or so they tell themselves.
Right up until Dad accidentally drops a bombshell:
he has a favourite . . .
And suddenly everything unravels.
All the secrets. All the lies. The not even half-truths.
But might it take coming apart to bring this family back together?
