To confront her grief and rediscover herself, Hollis organizes a weekend getaway at her Nantucket home, bringing together three friends from different stages of her life: her childhood, her twenties, her thirties, and a surprise “fifth star.” Set against the stunning coastal backdrop, the weekend forces the women to face buried secrets, redefine friendships, and embrace unexpected growth.
