Nothing derails a family holiday like your father revealing that he has a favourite child.
Alex, Nancy and Eva Fisher. Three grown-up sisters; each wonderful and imperfect in their own individual ways. And loved equally by their parents, Vivienne and Patrick.
Or so they thought.
Right up to the moment when, during a family party, Patrick inadvertently lets slip that he has a favourite.
While they try to gloss over it, this begins to unravel everything the sisters thought they knew.
As their past is re-written, secrets and lies are uncovered, and the Fisher clan implodes in a way they could never have dreamed possible.
But will it take falling apart to bring them closer together?
