When Zach and Olive agree their marriage is over, the last thing they expect is an invitation from their old friend, Lara, to visit her in Costa Rica.

As the group reunites, old rivalries and secrets are quick to resurface. And someone is desperate to keep their deadly secret about what happened a decade ago hidden, whatever the cost…
