Synopsis

Tracey's youngest son, Travis, has been missing for four days since he set off for his gap year in Spain, and uncertainty looms surrounding his rumoured travel to Morocco. Anxiously, Tracey enlists the help of Sharon and Doreen and embarks on a quest to find him. Their journey leads them to Marbella, where they learn that Travis has followed his Spanish girlfriend, Angelina, to Morocco. They swiftly board a flight to Tangiers in search of him. Upon arrival, they discover that Travis is incarcerated, charged with stealing an antique vase. Determined to help him, the trio begins to investigate, suspecting one of three individuals may have framed him. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they realise that uncovering the truth puts them all in jeopardy, forcing them to navigate dangerous waters to protect both Travis and themselves.
