A simple dinner invitation leads a middle aged woman to have blackmail on her mind. Still grieving from the loss of her best friend, Clarissa soon discovers money is actually the least of her concerns. Old friends, new acquaintances, painful memories and fading mental acuity collide to make this a singular week – with far reaching consequences.

Clarissa is inwardly simmering at the way her husband, Edward, is managing their future. Existing in a dual disharmony of crumbling house and marriage, the desire to be transported away from the mundane leads to family betrayals, unearths secrets and puts Clarissa on an irreversible path to vengeance.
