The Family Holiday

Two families. One house swap. A vacation to die for.

I can't believe my luck as I arrive at the beautiful, white-washed Italian villa. Complete with an infinity pool and stunning views, it's the perfect place to create special memories with my family. But as soon as we step inside everything starts to go wrong...

When my neighbour from back home calls, concerned about the woman in my house - and the way she's snooping about - I start to wonder why successful Amber Mason has swapped her gorgeous villa in the sun for a crumbling English cottage.

In the mid-day heat a shiver runs down my spine. I have no idea who the stranger I've let into my life really is.

Then I discover an old photograph of my handsome husband hidden in a wardrobe in the master bedroom. My head spins as I try to understand why it's there. When I confront Niall on the balcony he has an answer for everything. As I search his familiar green eyes, with the sun setting in the background, I can no longer tell if he's lying. I storm out.

But when I return to the villa, in the dark of night, I scream. My husband is lying dead on the veranda.

Memories of our marriage flash before our eyes. Was it all a lie? And are my children now in danger?

The vacation is over and the nightmare has just begun...
