Synopsis
In 1976 four students took a trip to the desert. Now the repercussions of that fateful summer are coming back to haunt them...
And repercussions are just what Guy doesn't need: his wife, Jane, is moving swiftly from slightly eccentric to downright peculiar, their three-year-old daughter seems set on destroying Jane's sanity, and now even God's gone quiet on him.
As for Nina, she's having enough trouble with her son, James. He's got exams looming, a new girlfriend with pneumatic breasts and now, it seems, he's on drugs. Nina certainly won't welcome any ghosts from the past.
Life isn't going smoothly for anyone. But when Hugo, long-forgotten agent of misfortune, threatens to pay them all a visit, disaster seems unavoidable.

‘The sudden reappearance of old friends can open a can of worms, and that’s what happens when Nina receives a call from Hugo – who she hasn’t seen since an ill-fated student expedition twenty years before. As a single parent with a teenage son who appears to be dabbling in drugs, more drama is the last thing she needs – and Hugo’s return seems certain to mean disaster for Nina.
