Six women return to the same beach house in Tuckaway Bay, the same week in August, for over twenty years, drinking and laughing their past year’s problems away. Beach therapy, they call it, with a twist of lime.
Lia contemplates a surprise marriage proposal from her long-term partner—one she doesn’t want. Maggie questions the arrangement she made with her husband years earlier. Julia fights depression after a horrible loss. Wren worries about the legalities of her sister’s business, while her twin, Willow, avoids a medical issue. And Alice? Her life is perfect. Right.
As their troubles escalate and beach week unravels, the women realize no amount of beach therapy will solve their problems this year.
Alice divulges a secret. Wren and Willow disappear. Maggie faces an impossible family situation. Julia confesses her addiction. And Lia wrestles with a twenty-year-old decision when an old summer love shows up at their beach house.
Can beach week, and their friendships, survive? Even with tequila?
