Lovers and newcomers

the long version

Miranda Meadowe lives a relatively solitary life in her rustic country home, but her world dramatically changes when she invites a group of her oldest friends to move in with her. In the beginning, their reunion is joyous. They laugh, dance, drink, behave badly, and being to reclaim the things they thought would be theirs forever. But as the days pass, long-forgotten grudges resurface and new tensions emerge, and they discover that their bond may not be the same as it once was. And when an ancient burial site is discovered not far from the cottage, the outside world descends upon them and their isolation is breached.
