Set over the course of a single day and night, a tense, provocative, and psychologically astute first novel. A long weekend with old friends in the country is not Joseph's idea of a good time - not when he's promised his ex-wife he'll use the occasion to talk to their troubled 14-year-old daughter, and not when the rural home belongs to his former lover and her husband, Alex. As more guests arrive, old yearnings and tensions emerge. But things take a terrifying turn when the adults return from a nostalgic drug-fuelled bender to discover their two teenage daughters are missing.
