Their picture-perfect marriage. Their enviable lifestyle. They were just lies.

Alex and Sarah have the life everyone longs for: a stunning Cambridge home, respected careers, a marriage built on ambition. But when Alex's politician father unexpectedly calls in the debt on their house, the cracks in their perfect lives begin to show. The young couple are pushed towards a desperate gamble: manufacturing illegal drugs at the biotech lab where they both work. The decision puts them at the mercy of a ruthless and sadistic dealer – educated, connected, and untouchable, with powerful friends inside the police force.

On her thirty-fourth birthday, Sarah disappears. As a high-profile missing persons investigation, led by DI Rachel Hughes, closes in on Alex – now the prime suspect and fast running out of alibis – long-buried secrets surface, including an affair that destroys his credibility.

Told through the eyes of Alex, Sarah, and DI Hughes, this tense domestic noir thriller asks how far we'll go to protect the lives we've built and what we become when they start to fall apart.
