What will happen when the party's over?

The autumn leaves are beginning to fall just as Alexa arrives back in Scotland for the first time in years, looking forward to seeing her family at her grandmother's birthday party. But then Pandora turns up. Pandora, the wild child who ran away many years ago. The one who might have had an affair with Alexa's father . . .

As secrets come out and old wounds are laid bare, the family must come together in love and forgiveness - or risk being torn apart forever.
