Description

A charity pool party on a sweltering Sunday in May seems like the perfect way to bring the community together, but for Louise, it's a day of mixed emotions. Her estranged husband Barnaby is in attendance, and his presence is as unwelcome as the scorching sun beating down on the pool. As Louise tries to enjoy the company of her daughters and the company of her new beau, Cassian, the tranquility is short-lived. Tragedy strikes, and the consequences send the lives of those involved into a tailspin of recriminations, jealousy, and power struggles. As the situation spirals out of control, friendships are tested, and the village is torn apart. With the needs of a child taking a backseat to the adults' competing interests, the delicate balance of relationships is pushed to the breaking point. As the drama unfolds, one thing becomes clear: nothing is as it seems, and the perfect day has turned into a nightmare.
