    • Synopsis
    • Haunted by a dark past, Leah, a shy artist craved a place and a companion that made her feel secure... she found both when a high school romance bloomed into a marriage for life, and Neil, her husband, built an isolated farm for her in the remotest hills of Andalusia. And then... he was gone.

      Now, in a crisis like nothing she has ever faced before, Leah calls her closest friends, Beth and Gregory to join her for a weekend at the farm. When they arrive, Leah reveals to them that she has made a fateful choice that will affect all of their lives forever.

      Confronted with her shocking decision, Gregory and Beth are faced with a heartbreaking dilemma: whether to reveal the secrets that they know about Neil and shatter their decades-old bond with Leah, or to allow her to hold on to her cherished memories with potentially fatal consequences.

      Unexpectedly, Alix, a young, rebellious woman, arrives on the farm to spend the hot, Andalusian summer with her environmentalist uncle, Andrés, who oversees the farm for Leah, and chaos ensues.

      As the weekend progresses, and Leah, Beth and Gregory wrestle with their deep, intertwined history, they each find that they have valuable hard-earned life lessons to impart to the young, troubled Alix...

      Meanwhile, as Leah discovers the long held, buried secrets that torment her best friends - she must reassess the foundations of her life, and make the hardest, most important decision of her life.
