The Weekend Break

Four friends, four secrets, one explosive weekend break that tests their friendship

Four girlfriends head off for a Weekend Break in Galway City, each think that everyone else has their life in order, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Each has a secret that unfolds over the weekend that could change their lives and relationships forever.

Vivienne, a businesswoman married to a rich well-connected man, wants out of her marriage. She organised this trip to secretly meet with a hot-shot solicitor who would help her.

Helen is a stressed-out stay-at-home mum to four boys, whose nightly glass of wine has become a bottle and threatens her marriage. Her husband issues her with an ultimatum but is she willing to give up the one thing that comforts her?

Clara has had to quit a job she loved to look after her son with additional needs but is miserable.

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?
