The Fisher family are on holiday...

Mum, Dad. And their three grown-up daughters – Alex, Nancy and Eva – plus their young families.

Sisters with differences, yes – but these are quickly glossed over.

This is not a family of secrets, lies or even half-truths. Or so they tell themselves.

Right up until Dad accidentally drops a bombshell: he has a favourite...

And suddenly everything unravels. All the secrets. All the lies. The not even half-truths.

But might it take coming apart to bring this family back together?
