Friendship, Lies, and Galway Skies: The Explosive Weekend that Redefined Everything! VIVIENNE’S perfect life is a façade, and she at last wants out. She needs a divorce fast. HELEN’S nightly glass of wine has become a bottle or two, and her drinking is threatening her marriage. CLARA feels she must lie to her husband to save her sanity and reach towards some freedom. MIRIAM , wanting to change her life, does so in the most dramatic way possible. Her friends are supportive when she tells them, but she knows there is still a hidden truth that can never be exposed. Their time in Galway has life-changing consequences. As the weekend unfolds and their secrets are laid bare, will it be too much for some to cope with? Will their friendship and loyalty to each other survive the weekend break and its painful aftermath?
