When four-year-old Charlotte goes missing from a playground near her home, her mother, Antonia, turns to her cousin Trish Maguire, a barrister with plenty of heartbreaking professional experience of what can happen to children at the hands of abusive adults.

Trish is prepared to do anything, to use any of her friends – including Willow King and Emma Gnatche – to find out what has happened to Charlotte, but time is running out and even Antonia is beginning to question Trish’s innocence.
