Sins of the fathers

Mark Richmond's trip to York takes a surprise detour when he runs into Helena Crawford and ends up accompanying her to her parents' ruby wedding anniversary in Drumlee, Scotland.

Six months earlier, Mark attended Peter Kingsley's 60th birthday party - the father of his now-estranged wife, Sophie - where Peter was unexpectedly taken ill.

Mark's father, Charles, has been friends with Peter for over 40 years, but how well does he really know him?

As Peter's health continues to deteriorate, it seems the Richmonds and the Kingsley's are inextricably linked by devastating secrets, resentment, betrayal and deceit. And who is Ellie, the girl in the hooded anorak, who appears on the cliff path in Drumlee, pale and shivering from the cold?
