Celebrating their forty-fifth birthdays, four best friends escape to a tropical island for “Boy Bands at the Beach.” What could be better than basking in the sun, devouring beach reads, and being serenaded by the bands they idolized as teenagers? But when the story opens, we learn that each woman is at a crossroads. Nicole is at a boudoir photo shoot, desperate to recapture when she was the life of every party and not just a boring stay at home mom. Liliana, the overworked COO of a tech company, has missed dinner with her family again and must face her disappointed husband. Angie, the misfit of the group, is wrestling with a secret from the past. And Carly, a trendsetting influencer, is on social media, flaunting beach trip must-haves, even though she just caught her husband cheating. Enter Luca—a gorgeous, charismatic twenty-something year-old. When he befriends Angie, the others question why he’s at an event for women who get Botox injections and need sensible shoes. Suspicion escalates when someone steals Angie's passport. Then, the unthinkable happens when one friend vanishes. Will the others find her, or will a vacation to see the best nineties boy bands of all time end in disaster?
