In 1995, Stuart and Maria Phillips are ready for the adventure of their retirement: a meticulously planned six-week caravan trip through Europe. Joined by their old friend Ruth, fluent in French, perennially late, and brimming with enthusiasm. What could go wrong?
Everything, as it turns out.
From a smuggling mishap at the ferry to a tragic, and highly inconvenient, incident with Ruth, Stuart and Maria entangled in a spiralling series of disasters. Suspicious French police, a stolen caravan, and a shadowy criminal plot, and their dream holiday becomes a nightmare of hilarious misadventures and mounting tension.
With Stuart's dry wit and Maria's pragmatic determination, the couple must navigate a journey filled with grief, absurdity, and unexpected revelations. Can they salvage their holiday, or at least survive it? Like a precarious domino line, all it takes is one slight mistake to topple them all.
One Little Faux Pas is a darkly comic tale of resilience, friendship, and the chaos that ensues when well-laid plans collide with life's unpredictable twists.
