If you hurt me, I'll hurt you. Not right away of course, because where's the fun in that?

When an empty passenger plane crashes in the Lake District, Carly Atherton's hopes of getting back together with the man she loves vanish - Luke Emery was one of the two pilots on board.

Solving the mystery of the doomed flight might just be the chance disgraced journalist Carly needs to regain her career, as well as giving her the answers about Luke's death that she desperately wants.

But when she contacts the family of Daniel Taylor, the second pilot, she finds the two women he was closest to - his devoted sister and his loving wife - have very different memories to share.

As Carly delves into the dynamics of a seemingly ordinary family, she uncovers a far darker story than she was expecting.

Because the bonds that shape us can also tear us apart. And sometimes there are monsters living among us, hiding in plain sight...
