__________________________________________
It's the holidays, and the Birch family is gathering for the first time in years.
Olivia, the eldest daughter, has returned from treating an epidemic abroad and must go into quarantine for seven days. Her mother has decided it's the perfect opportunity to spend some 'special time' together. Her youngest sister wholeheartedly disagrees. Her father isn't allowed an opinion.
When no one can leave the house and no one can enter, quaratine for the Birches feels like an eternity.
Especially when they're all harbouring secrets. One of which is about to come knocking at their door...
