Description

Put twelve strangers on a residential course, remove them from their loved ones, stretch them to their limits physically and mentally, add alcohol and temptation. Just about anything can and will happen. Seth Munday attends against his wishes and in just five days discovers the truth about his marriage, his career, and his family. The simple Scillonian who reached the corporate heights as a trainer reluctantly accepts that his career is in decline and at the same time his marriage could be in tatters. Will the five days away prove to be just what he needs to re-build his life, or an unnecessary distraction?Seth has been to the training centre in the Lake District before and knows that the course will mean getting close to and working with all of the other people on the course so he can't help but wonder who they will be. It doesn't take him long to find out. Anne brings a secret that will stun two of the others, Maggie looks to build her career at any cost, Rob wants to find love, Paul wants to persuade everyone that he is cleverer than he is, while Gemma just wants a good time. They are all so different, is that a coincidence or were they selected for a reason?As the course progresses the strangers slowly become a winning team. They live and learn together, make mistakes, conquer challenges, and solve puzzles. They argue and disagree, but most of all they laugh, they share highs and lows, and do their best to empty the bar. The training centre staff have seen all this before and quietly get on with helping the new delegates to be successful.Just when Seth and his new friend Tony think they are getting things right and can relax slightly, they accidentally uncover a murder plot. Is it part of the course, do they try to solve it on their own or will other people need to be involved?All in all it was not at all the week any of them had expected. It was one that would change them and their lives for ever.
