You're trained to save the lives of others.
How far would you go to protect your own?

Ruthlessly ambitious Olivia, anxious
perfectionist Laura and free-spirited risk-taker
Anjali couldn't be more different. Yet their
friendship, which began on the first day of
medical school, has kept them inseparable
for twenty-five years. As wild all-nighters and
exam pressures gave way to the struggles and
joys of new motherhood and intense jobs, their
bond remained unbreakable. Years ago they
promised that nothing would come between
them and that they'd do anything for one
another, including burying one night they have
never spoken about: a drug-fuelled university
party that forced them to make a deadly choice
that could still destroy them.

When an eerily similar tragedy strikes involving
their teenage children, everything the three
women have built threatens to shatter around
them. And they are left asking: just how far can
you stretch a friendship before it snaps?
