Four perfect strangers. Three days. Can one weekend away change your
life? The unputdownable new drama by one of Australia's most beloved
storytellers
Coming together for a writing workshop with bestselling author Jan
Goldstein, four strangers converge upon a luxury forest retreat. But
along with their notepads and laptops, each of the participants has
brought some emotional baggage.
Beth is a solo parent and busy career woman haunted by a tragic car
accident. Simone, the youngest at 26, is a successful Instagram star
but she's hiding behind a facade. Jamie is the only man. He's a
handsome personal trainer - but he looks out of place with a pen in his
hand. Finally, Alice is a wife and mum recovering from post-natal
depression. She and Jamie soon realise they are not such perfect
strangers after all.
Only one thing is for sure: on this creative getaway, nothing will go
according to script.
