US native Nicole Ellis never thought she would lose her husband to a horrible traffic accident. She keeps a diary online, writing about the tragic events in her life as they unfold. Christian, the diary site owner, invites her to join him in Norway for a change of pace. Nicole is hesitant at first but eventually agrees to go, using the money from the wrongful death suit she was awarded on behalf of her husband.

But barely two months later, Nicole is delivered the surprise of her life when Christian is suddenly arrested and whisked away in the middle of the night for a murder she had no clue he committed while vacationing in Thailand.

Although she can afford to do so, Nicole does not want to be alone. Remembering a cyber friend in Wales as well as one in the Netherlands, she tries to make contact—only to find that one has moved to Vietnam and the other is nowhere to be found.

Then she thinks of Adele in Germany and decides to contact her. Adele offers her a place to stay until she can get her head together. They have a mutual friend, Frida. Adele met Frida in Turkey many years ago. Nicole met Frida online, and then she met Adele through her. However, she and Frida had a falling out and haven’t spoken in a few years.

Nicole and Adele’s friendship grows quickly, and things turn interesting when they eventually meet up with Frida in Turkey for a relaxing vacation at sea before Germany turns cold.

Then tragedy strikes again when Adele dies of lung cancer. On her deathbed, she asks Frida to look out for her.
Now both Nicole and Frida have to decide whether or not their friend’s dying wish is worth it.
