But when Mrs Brown enters their lives, her charismatic presence becomes the glue holding their dysfunctional family together - until a catastrophic betrayal tears them apart.
Now, years later, Nessie seeks independence but finds herself trapped in self-destructive patterns. As unsolved family mysteries resurface, she begins to wonder: what really happened between her parents and Mrs Brown?
