Event information
An unputdownable page turner about old friends and new betrayals
They predicted Ivo would become a tycoon. They predicted Ayda would go on to become a hotshot lawyer. They didn’t predict that Lily would be dead. Twenty years ago, nine university friends made a series of predictions about what would happen to each of them after college. Now they’ve all gathered together for the weekend. Not for a reunion but for a reveal. Some of them have gone on to staggering success, others to more mundane lives. And one of them is missing.
