'Best described as a sort of Blockbuster Plus - in this case plus a little bit more intelligence and social and political grip than is normal . . . Agreeably glamorous and pageturning' DAILY MAIL

Take four friends...

Rianne: beautiful, wealthy and thoroughly spoilt, she has the world at her feet but is about to risk everything.

Gabrielle: intelligent, loyal and always worrying about everyone else, now it's time for her to start looking after No.1.

Nathalie: petite, pretty and with a shrewd eye for business, she uses her work to help her forget the one man she can't have.

Charmaine: flirty and outrageous, she knows all about the good life. She just needs someone to pay for it...

Then a chance encounter changes everything - and for Rianne and her friends, nothing is going to be the same again...
