About Palace of Fun
Lily and Finn begin a summer romance after they meet one evening in a nightclub. Instantly smitten with one another, Finn is invited to spend a week in Lily’s opulent Sussex house until her parents return from their trip to Italy. However, the situation is disrupted when Jamie, Lily’s younger brother, fortuitously discovers a revealing secret about Finn. But instead of telling Lily what he knows, Jamie decides to use it to play a dangerous and sinister game.
