Despite her lush surroundings though, Tiny is beginning to feel more like a prisoner than a guest. As the season gets underway, three unwelcome visitors appear in Tiny's perfect life: an envelope containing an incriminating photograph; her volatile sister Pepper; and the intimidating figure of her husband Frank's cousin, Vietnam-war hero Caspian, who knows more about Tiny's past than anyone else. As she struggles to break free from the gilded cage which entraps her, secrets from Tiny's past are bubbling to the surface and may yet unravel everything...
