[COMPLETED]
Elijah and Jess had been unbreakable since high school, so it comes as no surprise to anyone when the young couple decides to tie-the-knot. But when Jess's feisty and voluptuous best friend, Kylie, returns to the hometown for the wedding after five long years, the couples' relationship rapidly deteriorates.
All it takes is one drunken night of vulnerability and passion between Kylie and Elijah to highlight the many problems in his relationship with Jess.
The two begin a sordid affair at the expense of all those around them, and as all three of their lives begin to spiral out of control, it seems that it's not only Kylie and Elijah who are keeping secrets.
Nobody will be left unscathed when the truth comes out...
