"Anita, Zeba, Bubbles and Sam have a friendship that spans over twenty years—a friendship born out of their years at a girls' school in Delhi in the early 1990s. Beautiful, intelligent and secretive, they were the top clique; the girls whom everyone wanted to impress—until the arrival of fifteen-year-old Lily D'Souza who instantly threatens their superiority.

Now, Anita, Sam and Bubbles live in London. Bubbles is the pampered but bored wife of a billionaire, Anita is a top journalist working for the BBC, whilst Sam tries hard to be a trophy wife for her corporate lawyer husband. Zeba remained in India, and now lives a life of unimaginable luxury as the reigning Bollywood queen.

Coming together for a school reunion, the women must confront a secret that has haunted their adult lives. Or are some things better left untouched and unsaid?
