As Diana Morrison laid the table for six at her elegant Central Park apartment, there was no warning of what was to come. Spending New Year's Eve together was a sacred tradition for Diana, Eric, her husband of 32 years, and their two sets of best friends, Pascale & John, and Anne & Robert. The future looked rosy as the longtime friends sipped champagne and talked of all renting a villa in the South of France the following summer. But life had other plans.Just two weeks into the New Year, however tragedy strikes the heart of their close circle as Robert suffers a sudden, unexpected loss. Without hesitation, the others offer total support. Convinced that a change of scenery is just what Robert needs, they urge him to join them on the Riviera in August. But as they soon discover, the ramshackle mansion they rented, sight unseen, is far different from the exquisite villa and sun-drenched gardens touted in the brochure. Cobwebs hang from the ceiling, and beds collapse beneath them. All while a would-be housekeeper in a leopard-skin bikini and high heels sashays through the house with her trio of poodles at her heels. But the biggest surprise of all is the woman Robert invites to the villa as his guest - a lovely, very attractive, and much-younger actress. Diana and Pascale hate her on sight. But the men are dazzled. And amid the crumbling furniture and the glorious sunsets, the strained relationships and the acts of forgiveness, more surprises are in store for them. With the last rays of summer fast approaching, each couple finds themselves changing in unexpected ways, as old wounds are healed, new love discovered, and miracles unfold...all beneath the dazzling sun of St Tropez.
