About the Show

A novelist smashes up her car on the anniversary of a tragic event. Rattled but not hurt, she opts to spend the weekend at the cottage she still shares with her long-separated husband — alone with her memories and a well-stocked bar. But her latest lover in a string of masochistic affairs drops by, and then her husband and his young girlfriend arrive, believing the cottage to be empty. Too late to go elsewhere and hampered by a major storm, this prickly foursome must stay the night together. But the notion of being safer in the cottage is quickly eroded as insecurities are stoked, emotions are bared, and old wounds never fully healed split open.
