The bride, her companion, the best man, the coordinator of the wedding, the bridesmaid, and the body
Friends and family get together to celebrate the unification of two people's lives on an island off the coast of Ireland. The groom is a rising celebrity on television, personable and beautiful. The bride is a magazine editor who is intelligent and driven. With its boutique whisky, elegant party favours, secluded setting, and beautiful gown, this wedding is fit for a magazine spread or celebrity wedding. The waves may be steep and the mobile phone reception patchy, but every aspect has been meticulously planned and will be skillfully carried out.
However, individuals are just too human, and perfection is for planning. Petty jealousies and resentments mix with memories and best wishes when the champagne is cracked and the celebrations get underway. The groomsmen start playing the drinking game while they are still in school. Not so inadvertently, the bridesmaid rips her dress. A toast is spoken by the oldest male friend of the bride, who is uncomfortable yet kind.
And suddenly a body is discovered. Who wasn't hoping for the happy couple? And why, maybe more importantly?
