Alice Day's theory has led to five strangers meeting in a bar to take part in her experiment. But can this one-time bestselling author, now a mother and housewife, follow through and change their lives for the better (and perhaps her own as well)? The strangers are a working mother stretched to breaking point, a childless woman whose only solace is fashion, a divorced father, a teacher who hates her job but loves a married man, and a widow in her 60s hiding a painful secret. It is the little things that make life worth living, or so Alice's theory goes. Her aim is to see if the tasks she emails each group member can slowly turn their lives around. But with any experiment, there are outcomes. The small changes Alice suggests set off much larger ones and a betrayal dramatically affects everyone's lives in ways that, at first glance, are not for the better at all...
