They offer Mykonos. A free luxury villa, thanks to Vivian's DJ toy-boy.

There are sick parents, secret illnesses, sullen teenagers, and marriages that have lost their spark, and possibly their relevance. What follows is late nights and bad decisions, savage honesty, too many cigarettes, and the kind of laughter that only comes when you're with the women who know and love you best. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Stella - married, stable and increasingly restless - the trip stirs something she can't ignore.
