What to expect from One Night
The story centres around three friends Simone, Tess and Hat, whose friendship takes a turn for the worst after one traumatic night that will go on to haunt them.
The official synopsis reads: "Since then, Simone (Nicole da Silva) has harboured secret hopes of becoming a novelist but most of her haphazard attempts have been shoved into her bottom drawer.
"Now, at the age of 40, she has finally written the one story she could never get out of her mind, and her debut manuscript has become an unexpected overnight success.
"But it soon becomes apparent that the devastating story the book tells doesn't exclusively belong to her.
"At the heart of Simone's novel is a tragedy which also happened to Tess (Jodie Whittaker) and Hat (Yael Stone), her two childhood best friends.
"As it becomes harder to prise fact from fiction, one person's memory and story from another's, the book threatens to derail all their friendships, bringing old traumas to the surface of the small coastal community where they grew up, and stirring its perpetrators, who want to make it all go away."
