Willows Ait

When Simone's parents built Willows Ait on the River Thames in Surrey, it was designed to be future-proof. The uniqueness of the project attracted a TV crew, who documented the build. When the episode aired, the family enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame.

Fast forward to the present day: Willows Ait has fallen into severe disrepair, and money is in short supply for renovations. When the TV crew proposes an anniversary special, Simone's mother hatches a desperate plan to commit insurance fraud to fund a rebuild and delay the shoot.

Simone, recently returned from an unexplained absence, is reluctantly roped into the scheme. Appalled, she tries to offload the fraud onto her younger sister, Tori. But within 24 hours, a prank goes tragically wrong and Simone's mother departs prematurely for a long-dreamed-of holiday, and Tori dies in devastating circumstances.

Determined to honour her mother's dying wish, Simone sets the plan in motion. But as the situation spirals out of control, Simone finds herself caught in a dangerous network of lies, organised crime, an unorthodox specialist crime unit, and a violent enforcer with a penchant for reality shows.
