A seemingly ordinary familyembarks on a risk 'well worth the taking', specifically the relocation of ZebWilliams and has nearest and dearest to the South of France. However, with onefoot buried in the past and one poised in the future Zeb's balance isinevitably off centre. Regardless, he packs his emotional baggage allowance andtravels toward a dream that slowly unravels into a nightmare. Forget the stereo-typicalmiddle-class family tired of their privileged professional lives and on theverge of investing their inheritance in a dilapidated castle.

Teeteron the edge of personal tragedy, be immersed in mutual mis-understandings,cultural shocks, mafia threats and eventual business collapse. Hot in Nice is based on actualevents and is therefore written with an intensity experienced by the guardianof those moments in time - well most of them!
