They predicted Ivo would become a tycoon
They predicted Ayda would go on to become a hotshot lawyer
They didn’t predict that Lily would be dead

Twenty years ago, nine university friends made a series of predictions about what would happen to each of them after college. Now they’ve all gathered together for the weekend. Not for a reunion but for a reveal.

Some of them have gone on to staggering success, others to more mundane lives. And one of them is missing.

Before her death Lily seemed agitated. Even scared. In the weeks before her death, she called Maggie, wanting to talk but then refusing to say what was frightening her. Now Maggie is beginning to realise that not everyone at the house this weekend is who they appeared to be.

And those who are lying are prepared to do anything to stop the truth coming out.
