An invitation to a long lost friend's milestone birthday party comes as a surprise. The prospect of three old friends spending two weeks on a tiny Caribbean island swapping stories and catching up after a decade of no contact intrigues and excites investigative journalist, TESSA McNALLY. But, after her holiday gets off to a shaky start, Tessa soon finds herself wondering if accepting her friend's invitation wasn't a mistake. Nothing is as she expected. Even the birthday girl now seems a stranger, and is nothing like the woman Tessa knew all those years ago.
A severe tropical storm on the night of birthday party results in the loss of power and communications on the island, and brings celebrations to an abrupt end. The storm also brought with it a series of grim events. What is behind the events? Who is responsible? Why is it all happening now? Tessa must find answers to those questions if any of them are to leave the island alive.
