Unexpected Events
One wrong decision can shatter everything. At one time, happily married to Frenchman André, and running a wine shop in Ballycross, County Cork, Seren's world feels small yet perfectly formed. Things can change fast. In the aftermath of a devastating unexpected event, Seren loses all faith in life and her future. Tired of letting fate dictate, she takes matters into her own hands and soon learns that fate and faith are two very different things. The discovery of an email destined for her husband shatters her world further. In order to decipher the mystery behind it, Seren leaves behind her comfortable life in Ballycross, to travel to France. Unwittingly she places herself into a dangerous game that she never even knew existed - one where the winner is already determined. Four women. One man. Four very different stories: greed, revenge, love, loss. But who is telling the truth? Just how far is she willing to trust the man she loves? Till death, or beyond the unexpected?
