When young mum of four, Beth Metcalf, dies in what seems to be a targeted attack, Morecambe Police's Major Investigation Unit are called to the scene.

Jenn immediately realises this shattered family will need every support available to them.

DS Jenn Townsend, Morecambe Police's Family Liaison Officer, is working late when an emergency is called in.

She races to the scene to find horror unfolding for a broken family, The Metcalfs. 

As they face overwhelming loss, Jenn must gain their trust to help Detective Inspector Manning and the MIU uncover the truth of what has happened.
​
Back at home, Jenn has got troubles of her own as, along with Chris, she tries to get to grips with the realities of having a house full of teenagers and a blended family.
