Frances, a twenty-two year old English tutor living in Mexico, meets three wealthy American couples at a party. Soon, she's invited to stay at the rented villa the couples share. As Frances enters into the privileged world of the Americans and their children, she discovers the darkness under the glittering facade. Twenty years later, facing a serious illness and family troubles of her own, Frances reflects on the choices she made so long ago and the impact those choices have made on her past and her present.
