Amidst the glamour of the French Riviera lies the crumbling façade of Chateau de Sètes, a small slice of France still held by the British aristocracy. But this long since abandoned chateau is now up for sale, and two people are desperate to get their hands on it despite its terrible history. Summer, 1985: Ruby has stayed at the chateau with her family every summer of her 12 years. It was her favourite place to be, away from the strictures of her formal childhood, but this year uninvited guests have descended and everything is about to change.

Ruby Ashby adores her parents’ house in France, but this August, everything feels different. Unexpected guests have descended upon the chateau—friends of her parents, and their daughters—and they are keen to enjoy the hot extravagant summer holiday to its fullest potential. Far from England, safe in their wealth and privilege, the adults revel in bad behavior without consequence, while the girls are treated as playthings or abandoned to their own devices. But despite languid days spent poolside and long nights spent drinking, a simmering tension is growing between the families.
