Lucy finds herself in exactly that situation when a colleague starts showing her pictures of her honeymoon in the Maldives. But in one of the photos, Lucy spots her best friend's husband, apparently on a luxurious holiday with another woman. The discovery is devastating to Lucy. She and her own husband do everything with their friends - the four of them trust each other implicitly. Determined to carry on as normal until she has more proof, Lucy's plans are derailed when news breaks of a British woman who has gone missing in the Maldives. Lucy suddenly can't help but suspect her friend's husband was not only there, but may have been involved. But when Lucy discovers something unexpected about the identity of the missing woman, she is forced to question whether everybody around her knows more than they're letting on. Is she actually the one most in the dark?

When a colleague passes around photographs from her honeymoon in the Maldives, Lucy is shocked to see Scott in one of the pictures, his arm around another woman.
The truth will change everything.
Then news breaks that the woman from the photograph has mysteriously vanished. Why was Scott there and what is he hiding?
As Lucy looks for answers, her whole life begins to unravel. If the lies start here, where do they end?
