Tiny White Lies by Fiona Palmer is a new family drama by the beloved Australian storyteller. Two families escape the rat race to holiday at a remote coastal retreat, but what lies are they telling themselves and each other?

Ashley has recently lost her husband. Daughter Emily is being bullied online.

Best friend Nikki is holding a huge secret. And why is husband Chris receiving so many text messages lately?

Their teenage children are glued to technology, be it PlayStation, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat...

The two women hatch a plan: for three weeks, both families will stay in a rustic, remote coastal camp with no phone reception. While the teenagers struggle to embrace this new world of self-entertaining in the rugged bushland, the adults are trying to maintain a certain facade. Soon, around the flames of the campfire, their tiny white lies might just begin to be exposed.
