For the first time in twenty-five years, a group of friends gathers to celebrate Adriaan's birthday. One by one, the guests arrive at Adriaan and Yvette's beach house on the West Coast. Some bring their children and their exuberant grandchildren with them. In the years since they last saw each other, some have had to say goodbye to life partners and dreams; others have found new love and meaning. And then there's Yvette, who can't yet bring herself to tell everyone about her journey.
