2000s: Their reunion just became a crime scene . . .
June Moody, a thirty-something English professor, just wants to get away from her recent breakup and reunite with girlfriends over summer break. Her old friend and longtime nemesis, Sadie MacTavish, a mega-successful author, invites June and her college friends to a baby shower at her sprawling estate in the San Juan Islands. June is less than thrilled to spend time with Sadie–and her husband, June’s former crush–but agrees to go.
The party gets off to a shaky start when old grudges resurface, but when they wake the next morning, they find something worse: Sadie is missing, the house is in shambles, and bloodstains mar the staircase. None of them has any memory of the night before; they wonder if they were drugged. Everyone’s a suspect. Since June had a secret rendezvous with Sadie’s husband, she has plenty of reason to suspect herself. Apparently, so do the cops.
What was meant to be a fun weekend of reminiscing, drinking and chatting like you’ve never left each other, soon turns into a deadly trap. Four college friends go to an isolated island. There is a serious history between these friends and this get-together is perhaps not the best idea.
Sadie’s sprawling estate is situated in the San Juan Islands. This is a nice chain of islands just of the coast of Washington State and the surroundings where the large house is, really is quite something.
The San Juan Islands are an archipelago and well known for its rural Pacific Northwest landscapes and wildlife. San Juan Island is known for its lively seaside town of Friday Harbor and Lime Kiln Point State Park, an orca-whale lookout.
