The Garden Party

Bella, a former professional tennis player, is trying to get her life back on track after a traumatic divorce. She moves in with a friend, Henry, and one weekend a party is arranged at Henry’s luxurious villa. The guests arrive and are looking forward to a few days of feasting, heavy drinking and high-stakes gambling, with a tennis tournament to be held in the grounds, but arrangements are suddenly thrown into disarray – by death. One of the party is a former lover of Bella. His wild ways, his gambling, destroyed their relationship once, but she was never quite able to get him out of her heart. And now he is back in her life.
