Fi Lawson arrives home to find strangers moving into her house, but she insists that it isn't for sale. With events spiralling beyond her control, her panic rises as she can't reach estranged husband Bram or locate her missing children.

In the present, Fi is left reeling from Bram's supposed involvement in the sale of the house. With the help of her former best friend, Merle, she attempts to prove that the deeds to the house are still in her name and discover more about Bram's whereabouts. Meanwhile, we flashback to the past to see Bram, panicking in the immediate aftermath of the car accident. Contemplating what will happen when the police discover he has a driving ban, he flees the scene. In the following days, he learns that a mother and child were injured in the accident and his guilt intensifies. Struggling to come to terms with the consequences of his actions he turns to drink. He is approached in a bar by a young woman, Wendy, and the two go home together. However, Wendy has more on her mind than a one-night stand. Revealing that she witnessed the accident she begins blackmailing Bram, threatening to turn him into the police. Bram believes he can handle Wendy and is hoping to be able to find her enough money to get her out of his life and then focus on repairing his relationship with Fi. But Fi is resolved to move on from Bram when a new man, Toby, arrives on the scene. Bram attempts to pay Wendy off, only to discover she has a partner in her blackmail plot, Mike, who wants more than just a quick payday. Not only that but, unbeknownst to either Bram or Fi, Mike and Fi's new boyfriend, Toby, are actually the same person and this intelligent and manipulative man has his infiltrated their lives in a way neither of them could ever imagine. Back in the present, Fi has been waiting nervously for news on the deeds to the house and is crushed to discover that these have been transferred to the new owners. She has lost the house. All she can now do is find out how and why this has happened, starting with finding Bram.

Fi, left devastated by the realisation that she has lost the house, realises that she needs to track down Bram herself. She follows the money trail and goes to a solicitor who she hopes can provide her with some answers. We flashback to Bram attempting to escape the blackmail situation he has found himself in with Mike and Wendy. However, he has underestimated them both and, after they make it clear they have him backed into a corner, he realises he is going to have to go along with their plan to sell the house. He sets about putting the plan in motion whilst Fi goes away with her close group of friends, including Merle. On the trip, the two women, during an honest and painful conversation, take the first steps towards mending their relationship. As the house sale approaches, Bram, Fi and the boys share an idyllic family Christmas together. Fi and Bram, swept along by this snapshot of how their life could have been, share a passionate night together. Bram hopes this is the start of a new future for his family but Fi disagrees. She feels the relationship and the trust between them is broken beyond repair and is determined to move on. Bram is heartbroken but his angst turns to horror when he discovers that Fi's new boyfriend, Toby, and his blackmailer, Mike, are actually the same person. Back in the present, when Fi's investigations leave her empty handed, she turns to Toby for help. But it is clear that Toby has his own reasons for wanting to get hold of Bram and, unbeknownst to Fi, she is putting her hopes, and her safety, in the hands of a ruthless and dangerous man.

Fi finally discovers the truth behind the house sale and confronts those responsible. Meanwhile, Bram, on the run, must come to terms with his own actions.
