In their favourite cafΓ©, a group of female friends meet regularly to discuss their troubles; but even friends canβt always tell each other the truth.
Cynthia is happily married to her lifelong sweetheart, but not even their present wealth and security makes her willing to reveal the abuse and trauma they suffered as children. Merielβs husband has abandoned her for another woman. And well meaning but snobbish Joanne canβt admit that behind her prosperous faΓ§ade, sheβs struggling for every penny.
As new people enter their lives, these women must draw on all their resources to meet the challenges thrown at them. But can they learn to rely on each other, or will they stand alone?
