Nine Perfect Strangers

Nine people, from different walks of life, head to Tranquillum House, a secluded and luxurious wellness retreat where they are promised 'total mind and body transformation'. Frances Welty, best-selling romance novelist, arrives with her personal and professional life pretty much in the toilet. She is immediately intrigued by her fellow guests, apart from Tony, whom she'd prefer never to see again. The person who intrigues her most is the mysterious and charismatic director of Tranquillum House, Masha. Could this person really have the answers Frances didn't even know she was seeking? As Masha outlines the upcoming 10-day healing journey for the guests, it becomes clear that Tranquillum will not be for the faint-hearted, but perhaps this is exactly where they all need to be.

The guests are told they must fast all day and can only forage for natural food on the property. As men and women split up to hunt and gather, the pain in Tony's past forces its way into his present, while Masha guides Napoleon to a catharsis. Jess and Carmel eventually manage to find common ground during an idyllic swim, and the men sate their hunger by taking matters into their own bare hands.

The next phase of the group's transformation tests the Marconi family, as a shocking reveal threatens to rip them apart forever. Carmel is confronted by Masha about her real motivations for coming to Tranquillum, and Tony and Frances rely on their 'buddy-system' as they become partners on their healing journey. Delilah is pushed to breaking point when Masha finally reveals why she brought the Marconis to Tranquillum.
