The Bentleys have always been the subject of local gossip, but whether they're a devil-worshipping cult or simply antisocial hippies, nobody can agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is where failing medical student Caz finds himself staying for the summer. When they're not knocking each other's heads into walls, or throwing spiteful barbs around the dinner table, the Bentleys spend their days rehearsing a play that Caz has somehow landed himself a role in. Life with his new friends is certainly never dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as summer drags on, Caz starts to suspect the Bentleys are hiding something. Lara always seems to know what's on his mind, Val takes creepy photographs, and Ronan is at the centre of an infamous town tragedy. Then there's Courtney, the girl the Bentleys won't talk about, whose diary mysteriously ends up in Caz's possession.
