The Posts are celebrating two milestones in their lives: Franny and Jim's 35th wedding anniversary and their daughter Sylvia's high school graduation. They are on a two-week vacation to the Balearic island of Mallorca with friends and family. The bright island with its beaches, mountains, tapas bars, and tennis courts also offers a haven from the simmering tensions back home in Manhattan.
However, nothing goes as planned: during the holiday, secrets are revealed, humiliations both old and new are endured, old grudges are reopened, and old wounds are made worse.
