Full of twists and turns, Colette is suddenly thrown into the deep end as she learns more about her daughter's mysterious life in Dublin, and is appointed the guardian of Kate's teenage children Cara and Liam, whom she never knew existed. Curious about who her daughter became, as well as the strange final month of her life, Colette sets out to uncover the truth behind her daughter's death, but of course, nothing's ever as it seems.
