Tiny white lies

Fiona Palmer

Two families escape the rat race to holiday at a remote coastal retreat, but what lies are they telling themselves and each other? Ashley has recently lost her husband, and her daughter Emily is being bullied online. Meanwhile, Ashley's best friend Nikki is hiding a huge secret - and why is her husband Chris receiving so many text messages lately? With their children glued to technology - PlayStation, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat - Ashley and Nikki hatch a plan: for three weeks, both families will stay in a rustic, remote coastal camp with no phone reception. While the teenagers struggle to embrace this new world of self-entertaining in the rugged bushland, the adults are trying to maintain a certain facade. Soon, around the flames of the campfire, their tiny white lies might just begin to be exposed
