Libby appears to have everything: living in the picturesque suburbs with her lawyer husband, Alex, and her beloved dog. But behind closed doors, she is being emotionally abused and cracks in their relationship are beginning to show. An enlightening visit to an exclusive libertine club in Paris inspires Libby to plan a birthday surprise for Alex to save their marriage, but a shocking incident changes everything...
Hiding a deadly secret, Libby flees from Oxford under a new identity, Charlie. Building herself a new life, Charlie decides to write a memoir and finds the courage to include details of her incriminating past.
Can Charlie live happily ever after, or will the past finally catch up with her?
