Thirty-four-year-old Eva van der Berg has been unable to forget the betrayal of her friends—a betrayal she thought she had buried years ago. They took her boyfriend from her; she could have forgiven that. But having her future stolen was something she could never come to terms with. As she invites her old friends and their husbands to the Hunters Motel, one question lingers in her mind: forgiveness, or the cold reckoning she has been quietly building for years? Eva is ready for both. Whatever the wind uncovers among the Schoorl dunes, lies and weaknesses await the same silent unraveling within these walls.

SYNOPSIS:

After inheriting her family's abandoned Hunters Motel, Eva van der Berg invites the four friends who once meant everything to her—and the husbands who know almost nothing about her—to spend a week together where their happiest memories began. To everyone else, it is a nostalgic reunion. To Eva, it is the final move in a plan she has spent years preparing.

For years, Eva has quietly preserved every email, every photograph, every careless confession and every forgotten secret her friends ever left behind. She knows far more about their marriages than they know about each other's, and far more about their weaknesses than they know about themselves.

As old rivalries resurface and carefully engineered situations begin to blur the line between coincidence and manipulation, lifelong friendships start to fracture, hidden desires surface, and seemingly perfect marriages begin to unravel. Unaware that every temptation has been designed, every conversation subtly guided, and every revelation patiently cultivated, Eva's guests slowly become the architects of their own downfall.

Inside the Hunters Motel, no one is forced to tell the truth.

They simply discover they no longer have a way to hide it.
