After months of abuse, Erin finally escapes her violent husband and disappears with nothing but a new name, a bag of cash and a second-hand car.

​

She rents a basement flat from a couple in the house upstairs, safe for now from the monster she married.

​

While Jeremy is cold and keeps his distance, his wife Vanessa is spirited and vivacious, welcoming Erin into a world of coffee dates, wine bars and long, liquid lunches.

​

But late one night, Erin hears sounds she knows all too well coming from above.

​

Raised voices. Smashing glass. Doors slamming.

​

The bruises on Vanessa’s arm tell Erin everything she needs to know.

​

Vanessa, a few weeks pregnant, admits the abuse has been going on for years – but is too scared to walk away.

​

She has a better idea.

​

To protect her unborn baby, she wants Jeremy dead – and needs Erin’s help.

​

But is Erin willing to commit murder for a friend she hardly knows? And risk the freedom she’s fought so hard to win?
