"It's New Year's Eve and the stage is set for a lavish party in one of Edinburgh's best postcodes. The party's host, Tess, diagnosed with a terminal illness, saw this as a chance for her to make things right...in more ways than one. To organize a vow renewal with her drifting husband, Tess recruits her best friend and circuit court judge, Sylvie. Stalked by guilt, Sylvie struggles with the memory of a decade-old incident. She and Tess both know time is running out. As Sylvie seeks to give Tess the closure she needs, it becomes clear that someone else hasn't forgotten what they did. Midnight approaches and the countdown begins-but one of the guests doesn't want a resolution. They want revenge"-- Provided by publisher.
