Say You'll Be There

1997. It’s Red Nose Day and Tess, Candace, Dana and Arianna rock up to school dressed as the same Spice Girl. Embarrassing. But it’s the start of a friendship that will see them through the challenges of school, family life, dreaming up their future and first relationships – good, bad and unspeakable. And sure, they only became a band for detention, but this could be the start of everything they dreamed of… 2019. The girls haven’t been in touch for years – since devastating secrets and the trials of adult life tore them apart. Until, one day, Candace contacts Tess and Arianna to say Dana has gone missing. As the three women come together to search for their missing friend and fill in the gaps between the years, it opens up a world of trouble they all believed was firmly in the past. Say You’ll Be There is a celebration of friendship, a story of survival, and a fight against the notion that some girls were destined to quietly disappear…
