The Four S's. Sun, sea, sand and sex. And booze of course. What else would you look for in a summer holiday in the exotic Cayman Islands? Seventeen year old Erica is determined to have fun but most of all a holiday romance, and to lose her virginity before going back for her final year at boarding school. She's determined to discover sex before her best friend Jessica does.
Unbeknownst to her, for her parents, things are not that different. Her banker father, David, is on a working holiday, with eyes on bedding his new pretty PA and anything else he can get his hands on, with a little fishing and scuba diving on the side, squeezed between family time.
Her bored mother, Felicity, who hates the sun and beaches, makes a very unwelcome discovery, is forced to reevaluate her life, and in seeking revenge faces a sexual awakening of her own.
Nothing, of course, is easy or ever goes according to plan, and each of them experiences rollercoasters of ups and downs, frustrations and surprises amid the friendly, cocktail laden bars along Seven Mile Beach.
But with the help of Sam, a loud and upfront woman that her parents would hate, Erica finally achieves her goal. So do her parents. But not all is what it seems. There is a truly horrifying connection between their lovers that will destroy their lives.
Dark secrets and hidden desires lead to the ultimate question: Can we really know anybody truly? Trust is shattered and past events come back to haunt the present. All of them will discover a lot more than they bargained for. It will be a holiday none of them will ever forget.
