Synopsis
Single mother Rosa juggles life with her sweet but troubled teenage son Luukas and a busy PR job at a family publishing house. She is frequently reliant on help from her best friend, the pragmatic good time girl Paula, a weather presenter by day and serial dater by night. But when idealistic Rosa meets the intriguing novelist Juha everyone’s lives are set to change forever. At first, it looks like the love story of the century – until one day a crack appears. In this dangerous, twisted love story the plot twist brings a dark question – who will get out of this alive?
