Stranded on the outskirts of Ironopolis --nickname to a lost industrial
Middlesbrough--the Burn Council Estate is about to be torn down to make
way for regeneration for the future. But these streets know many
stories, and some hide secrets.
Jean holds the key to the disappearance of a famous artist; Jim's youth
is shattered during the euphoric raves of '89; a brutal boyhood prank
scars three generations of Frank's family; Corina's gambling addiction
costs her far more than money; and Alan, a man devastated by his past,
unravels the darkness of his terrifying father, a man whose shadow has
loomed large over the estate for a lifetime. And then there is the
ageless Peg Powler, part myth, part reality. Why is she stalking them
all?
