Charmed Circle

Synopsis

Prepare to be gripped by unrelenting suspense. Prepare to be touched by a tidal force of emotion. This is the story of seven strangers, each escaping reality, who meet by chance in a tropical paradise that holds more promise and more peril than any one of them could have imagined. JOANNA: From the gloom of a London doctors' practice, she takes a spontaneous holiday to a Caribbean world of scorching sun, silver sand, and a tantalizingly beckoning blue sea. "The world is full of hypochondriacs," warns her boyfriend, urging her to keep quiet about her job. But Jo is not the only one concealing the truth. Among the enchanting and diverse bunch of characters she meets, it turns out one is playing a deadly game of charade. LOWELL, an American lawyer, and VINCENT, an art dealer from Amsterdam, share a close and long-standing relationship while mainraining separate lives and private worlds that scarcely overlap. CORA LOUISE and FONTAINE: Mother-anddaughter socialites from Charleston, South Carolina, they travel the world together, keeping up appearances, dreading the exposure of their own murky secret. JESSICA: A music festival organizer from England, she mourns a lost love she dares not discuss and risks rebuff when she confesses things. By mutual consent, the vacation becomes an annual event as close friendships develop, and the group starts to meet on each other's home ground. Yet the Caribbean sunshine has its darker side. Someone is on the trail of a killer and several will die before that trail comes to an end...
