One evening Melissa Byatt arrives home to find her three children in the kitchen looking down at the injured body of their father. Patrick is lying on the floor unconscious and with a stab wound in his side. The children are just standing looking at him. Melissa phones for an ambulance. She lets the paramedics into the house and then, on returning to the kitchen, realises that the knife which had been on the floor has vanished.
Melissa knows that the children are lying and must have something to do with the injury but they all maintain they know nothing about it and won't talk. If one of them has attacked their father there must be a good reason why so Melissa protects them and doesn't mention the knife to the police.
Rumours start spreading around the Forest Grove community and Melissa finds out secrets about her family which start to tear them apart. They are not the perfect family they have appeared to be.
