The Turnout

'A twisting, turning story of revenge and redemption' STYLIST

#### It was the three of them. Always the three of them. Until it wasn't.


Dara and Marie were trained as ballet dancers by their glamorous mother,
founder of the Durant School of Dance. After their parents died in a tragic
accident nearly a dozen years ago, the sisters took over running the school
together with Charlie, Dara's husband and once their mother's prized student.
But when a suspicious accident occurs, just at the onset of the school's
annual performance of The Nutcracker \- a season of competition, anxiety, and
exhilaration - an interloper arrives and threatens their delicate balance.
