TV Show • 2017

If these walls could talk...

Guests bring their baggage and own special brand of crazy to a vacation cottage and record their confessions, alibis and farewells in the cottage’s guest book. Each season features a new town, and along with it a new cottage and town locals, though characters from previous season often come along for the ride.

Bara says...

Ages 17+, but every child is different

The show relies heavily on adult-centered themes, crude humor, and situational dysfunction that are unsuitable for younger audiences. Its structure centers on mature interpersonal conflicts and secrets that require a high degree of social and emotional maturity to process.
