THE PREMISE
The Five-Star Weekend is centered on Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed cook and best-selling author known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor. She suffers a devastating loss and is unable to move forward. As a result, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis’s picture-perfect life. This includes her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter, and her growing pursuit of validation from her fans.
In an effort to overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life. Her childhood, her twenties, her thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, the stars will mature in ways they could never imagine. As boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.
