When 25-year-old Birmingham party-girl Nina Morgan wakes up naked on a beach in sunny Cape Town, South Africa, about 6000 miles from home and with all of her stuff missing, it’s clear things haven’t gone to plan. A bunch of young and eccentric local misfits who share a cottage by the beach quickly rescue her from that immediate predicament and help her exact revenge on the asshole who did this to her, but ultimately Nina’s going to have to be the one to rescue herself from herself. Each episode of the series starts "the morning after" , with a bombshell moment, then steps back to discover how our characters ended up here.
