THREE LIVES, ONE SUMMER AND AN AFFAIR THAT WILL UNRAVEL EVERYTHING

'The type of book you'll want to gulp down in one breathless sitting . . . A summer in Athens? Check. Millennial malaise? Check. A steamy affair that upends everything? Check' GUARDIAN

IN DEVELOPMENT AS A FEATURE FILM STARRING OSCAR NOMINEES SEBASTIAN STAN AND VANESSA KIRBY.

-----


At a crossroads in their relationship, Emma and Julian agree to house-sit for a friend in Athens over the course of an oppressive summer. Their plans take an unexpected turn when they meet Lena, an enigmatic young Greek woman who presents an opportunity for them to explore their relationship in uncharted and thrillingly risky ways. But as the heat in the city grows stifling, Emma and Julian find themselves far more entangled in Lena's life than they'd bargained for. What follows is a highly-charged three-way struggle for control, as Emma, Julian and Lena are suddenly faced with consequences far greater - and far more dangerous - than they could have predicted.
