Two friends discover that life doesn't always turn out as one would
expect in this absorbing family saga.
It's not always easy living in a close-knit community where everyone
knows everyone else's business. Growing up in a quiet West Country
village, butcher's daughter Rebecca Peterson and her best friend Cindy
Mason are keen to expand their horizons and see more of the world. On
leaving school, Rebecca heads off to university in Cardiff, while Cindy
gets a job at the new local supermarket - but dreams of becoming a model
or actress. The two friends promise to keep in touch.
But when tragedy strikes, rumours and suspicion engulf the village, and
the longstanding friendship between the Peterson and Mason families
looks set to be torn apart. Will Rebecca and Cindy's friendship survive?
Will Rebecca ever see Cindy again?
