In the summer of 1973, Ruth and her four friends were obsessed with pre-Raphaelite paintings - and a little bit obsessed with each other. Drawn to the cold depths of the river by Ruth's house, the girls pretend to be the drowning Ophelia, with increasingly elaborate tableaus. But real tragedy finds them along the banks by the end of that fateful summer. Twenty-four years later, Ruth returns to the suffocating, once-grand house she grew up in, the mother of young twins and seventeen-year-old Maeve. Joining the family in the country is Stuart, Ruth's childhood friend, quietly insinuating himself into their lives and giving Maeve the attention she longs for. She is recently in remission, unsure of her place in the world now that she is cancer-free. Her parents want her to be an ordinary teenage girl. But what teenage girl is expected.
