Three days in paradise. Ten dysfunctional colleagues. And one of them has gone missing... When Caitlin accepts a new high-powered job at Aurora, she can't possibly realise what she's letting herself in for. On the one hand, the senior team she's joining is full of big personalities, never happier than when nursing a bitter grudge or pursuing an illicit affair. On the other, the company is up for sale, and if they can just hold it together at their glamorous corporate retreat, each is set to make millions. But when the group heads out on the first night of the trip, everyone drinks too much. People say - and do - things they'll soon regret. And next morning, one of the team is missing...
