Sive and Dan Gallagher are devoted to each other. Living the dream in a beautiful old house that Sive has spent the last few years restoring. Set on the grounds of the house is Sive’s haven, an artist’s studio built for her by Dan. Dan’s business is going from strength to strength and they are doing very well financially – or at least that’s what Sive believes. But their marriage is tested to its very core when Dan has a car accident.

But as Sive puts the pieces together, she learns the Gallagher clan are hiding a secret, one that will change all of them forever…
