Glamorous, beautiful Mummy has everything a woman could want...except for a little daughter of her very own. So when she sees Kim - heavily pregnant, glued to her phone and ignoring her eldest child in a busy shop - she does what anyone would do. She takes her. But little foul-mouthed Tonya is not the daughter that Mummy was hoping for: disobedient, uncooperative and always asking about the funny smell coming from the cellar. Meanwhile Kim is demonised by the media as a 'scummy mummy', who deserved to lose Tonya and ought to have her other children taken too.

Maria is a good woman and a good cleaner. She cleans for Elsie, the funny old bird who's losing her marbles, with the terrible husband. She cleans for Brian, the sweet man with the terrible boss. She cleans for the mysterious Mr Balogan, with the terrible neighbours. If you're thinking of hiring her, you should probably know that Maria might have killed the terrible husband, the terrible boss and the terrible neighbours. She may also have murdered the man she loved.

A nightmare jolts Debs awake. She leaves the kids tucked up in their beds and goes downstairs. There's a man in her kitchen, holding a knife. But it's not an intruder. This is her husband, Marc, the father of her children. A man she no longer recognises. Once their differences were what drew them together, what turned them on. Him, the ex-army officer from a good family. Her, the fitness instructor who grew up over a pub. But now these differences grate to the point of drawing blood. Marc screams in his sleep.

Koszmar budzi Debs. Zostawia dzieci w swoich łóżkach i schodzi na dół. W jej kuchni jest mężczyzna trzymający nóż. Ale to nie intruz. To jej mąż, Marc, ojciec jej dzieci. Mężczyzna, którego już nie rozpoznaje. Kiedyś ich różnice były tym, co ich łączyło. On, były oficer z dobrej rodziny. Ona, instruktorka fitness, która wychowała się w mieszkaniu nad pubem. Ale teraz te różnice są przyczyną rozlewu krwi. Marc krzyczy przez sen. A Debs prawie nie wie, kim się stała, ani dlaczego pozwala mu się krzywdzić. Żadne z nich nie jest całkowicie niewinne.

On the beautiful and windswept island of Tresco, two worlds live side by side. The wealthy visitors come by helicopter to stay at their lavish time-share properties. The estate staff travel by boat, and work all hours to keep them happy, to keep the money flowing in. But while the blue skies and savage waves make the island seem a wild paradise, under the surface the inhabitants are concealing more than they dare reveal. As black clouds come rolling in and a storm hits the island, truths and rumours begin to tumble out, wreaking terrible damage.
