Clever, chaotic TV writer Saoirse (Gallagher), glamorous, stressed-out mother-of-three Robyn (Keenan) and dependable, inhibited carer Dara (Dunne) have been a tight-knit group since school. Now in their late 30s, but still as close as ever, these three friends are about to embark on the most thrilling adventure of their lives.
When an email arrives, telling them about the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood gang, Greta, a series of eerie events at her wake set them on a dark, dangerous and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond as each tries to piece together the truth of the past. A show about friendship, memory and what happens when life doesn’t turn out quite like you’d expected.
The series is produced by Hat Trick Productions. Filming is taking place in Northern Ireland.
