Sloane Parker wants to skip her birthday entirely. She feels stuck in her life and tired of pretending her cheating husband doesn't bother her. When he arranges a surprise getaway with her wild best friend Naomi instead of joining her himself, Sloane expects nothing more adventurous than wine and bathrobes. She plans to dodge the hard conversations about her marriage that she's been avoiding. The rental cottage should offer the perfect escape. But Naomi has different plans. She drags Sloane into a night of reckless fun with a group of strangers neither woman knows. What starts as an evening out spirals into something terrifying. The night ends with consequences that will transform both women's lives permanently. Sloane must face changes far more dramatic than anything she feared about getting older. Her comfortable but unsatisfying life disappears, replaced by something she never imagined possible.
