But when she wins the cruise, the reality is not quite as she expected. As they sail from sun-drenched Athens, to glorious Rome, to tapas-laden Barcelona, lovers old and new join the adventure, and long-buried secrets are revealed. Can four lost adults find their way back to themselves, and to each other? And more importantly, can they do it without killing each other?
