In 1984, Jean Road, a 49-year-old mother of three, awakes at home in Bath, Somerset, and wonders where her 17-year-old daughter Melanie can be. Her bed hasn’t been slept in. Just then, Jean and her husband, Tony, hear someone shouting through a loudspeaker: ‘Does anyone know Melanie?’ Jean runs to the police car outside only to discover that her daughter has been murdered in a nearby street as she walked home from a club in the early hours. Britain’s biggest manhunt begins.

Lady Eleanor Albright has left her "brothel-loving, girl-seducing, entitlement-inflated husband with whom she can't believe she ever had sex" and is again living with her Irish mother, Lady Adele Darnley. With her daughter's marital woes unacceptable, Lady Adele schemes to end Eleanor's "problems" - one of which is her daughter's attachment to a man seven years her junior, a barrister named Lord Henry Faraday. To help her friend, the cherubic Baron's son, Eleanor must defy family, society, even the man she loves.
