According to their friends, Tom and Pippa Drummond have the perfect existence - an enviable lifestyle, a happy marriage, and a great kid in Tally.
A rare summer holiday is planned - an idyllic retreat in the Italian hills. Tom takes time off from running his restaurant, Pippa leaves her herb garden in the charge of dotty neighbour and Tally takes a break from the two men in her life.
Tuscany is everything they hoped it would be - cicadas in the trees, the scent of sage and citrus and suppers under the stars. But their joy is short-lived. Overnight their lives, their circumstances, their very identities are altered, and life will never be the same again.
