The Princess Bride

Three friends. One remote B&B. Countless lies. Who will survive the truth?A remote inn in Wales seemed like the perfect place to celebrate Jocelyn's engagement—a chance for three estranged friends to reconnect far from the pressures of home. Cautious single mother Rowan has a secret way of coping with stress that could ruin everything. Jocelyn, the radiant bride-to-be, weaves little white lies as easily as wedding plans. And Cadence, the straight-laced teacher, harbors feelings for someone she can never have. When their mysterious neighbors begin stirring up long-buried tensions and a young woman goes missing nearby, the friends' careful facades start to crack. Their only connection to the outside world vanishes, leaving them trapped with their suspicions and secrets. As the fog rolls in and the temperature drops, each woman must decide what's more dangerous: trusting her closest friends, or protecting her darkest truths.
