A girl went missing. Was it your husband’s fault?

Emma is so happy to have moved from the city to her husband’s small hometown. James was strangely reluctant at first – but she convinced him their little cottage is the perfect place to settle down. The perfect place to give their six-year-old son a new life.

But then a woman at the school gates asks Emma if she is really married to ‘that man’. ‘Which man?’ Emma asks. The woman replies…

‘Don’t you know what your husband did?’

Because Emma and James moving back has caused old wounds to surface. James’ best friend, Lucy, went missing 20 years ago. Everyone thinks he was responsible.

Emma is reeling. Why did James never tell her about Lucy? What really happened to the missing girl?

And can Emma ever trust the man she married again?
