But a tragic car accident and a series of mysterious deaths rock the estate and pull Duncan and Gemma into the investigation.

Or is it closer to home, tied up in the tangled relationships and bitter resentments between the staff at Beck House and Viv’s new pub? Or is it more personal, entwined with secrets hidden by Viv and those closest to her?
