Synopsis

Set against the stunning backdrop of Greece but actually shot on Gozo and Malta, this eight-part series follows a group of friends reuniting for a long-awaited summer getaway. At the heart of the story is Zoe (Jessica Raine), a woman feeling stretched more than thin by life’s demands. She hopes the holiday will be the perfect remedy for her and her family, especially her troubled husband, Dan (Damien Molony). But things don’t go as planned.

As Zoe rediscovers happiness amidst the beauty of paradise, a spontaneous, forbidden kiss quickly turns this dream vacation into a nightmare. The official synopsis reveals that Zoe’s actions awaken long-buried desires, transforming the holiday into a moment of reckoning for adults yet to grow up.

When the group finds themselves stranded on the island and confronted with real life-or-death stakes, tensions escalate and suspicions arise. As paradise unravels, the friends begin to turn on one another in a desperate search for answers. Is Zoe at the centre of the chaos, or are greater, uncontrollable forces at work as their idyllic escape spirals into turmoil?
