The synopsis:

When 25 year old Hull party-girl Nina wakes up naked on a beach in Cape Town, about 6000 miles from home, it’s possible that her life isn’t going exactly according to plan.

Local and beach cottage mates Michaela, Mandisa, Cleo and Justin quickly rescue her from that immediate predicament, and exact revenge on the guy responsible, but ultimately Nina’s going to have to be the one to rescue herself from herself.

The others soon learn the real reason Nina’s in town - she’s supposed to be at New Life, an upmarket rehab centre, but it was “full of junkies” so she bust herself out on day three.

She’s got a ticket home in three months’ time, but until then she’s on her own. Sometimes she’s on her own in Justin’s bed, but basically she’s on her own.

Determined not to give her stepfather the satisfaction of seeing her fail, Nina takes on a series of hustles to earn enough for rent, food and weed, putting her singing talents to good use, and relishing the world-renowned carefree sunkissed Cape Town lifestyle.
