Four friends, Woody (Max Beesley), Quinn (Philip Glenister), Baxter (John Simm), and Rick (Marc Warren) arrive in Majorca to visit their old mate Alvo, who is now a wealthy property tycoon enjoying the trappings of an ex-pat lifestyle. One by one Alvo asks his friends what theyve done with their lives, whether theyre truly happy, wouldnt they rather live like him? The hedonistic mood of the friends soon turns sour when they realise Alvo isnt quite the man they thought he was. The luxury yacht they have borrowed turns out to be stolen; Alvo has dragged them into something dangerous. When murder is committed they realise their nightmare has only just begun.

The Sunday Express described the show as having “one of the best starts to a thriller I have seen on TV for years” and with a cast that boasts Philip Glenister, John Simm, Marc Warren and Max Beesley, the show was always destined for good things.
