‘There was a smug satisfaction in the knowledge that her friend’s picture-perfect life was tainted by a dirty secret. Quinn may be far from perfect, but she’d always have that over Hannah.’ Old friends Hannah and Quinn have drifted apart, their lives following different paths. Hannah’s focused on raising her three children and putting her career on hold, while Quinn thrives in the fast-paced world of advertising. Their fragile friendship is bound by a haunting secret from their university days — a debt Hannah owes Quinn that neither can speak of. When Quinn faces a traumatic assault at work and her world starts to crumble, she plans a daring act of revenge and calls on Hannah to help. As events spiral out of control, Hannah must confront how far she is willing to go to repay the favour.

A gripping exploration of friendship’s darker side, power, and loyalty.

‘There was a smug satisfaction in the knowledge that her friend’s picture-perfect life was tainted by a dirty secret. Quinn may be far from perfect, but she’d always have that over Hannah.’

Old friends Hannah and Quinn have grown apart over the years as their lives take them in opposite directions. Hannah cares for her three young children, her career on hold, while Quinn has a successful job in advertising, where she works hard and plays harder. But their friendship hangs together because of a terrible secret they share from their university days – a debt Hannah owes Quinn that they can never discuss.

Quinn has always kept her professional and personal lives separate, but these worlds collide when a colleague assaults her. As her life starts falling apart, Quinn decides to take revenge on her attacker – and she expects her old friend Hannah to help. But when things begin to unravel, Hannah must decide how much she’s willing to risk in order to return the favour.

A gripping examination of the darker side of friendship, power and loyalty. How far would you go to repay a debt?
