Claire Goose leads the cast as Jen Molloy, starring alongside Moe Dunford who plays Jen’s lover, Damian Barr, and Jason O’Mara as her husband, Chris Molloy.

When Jen Molloy slips back home after a night of passion with a man who isn’t her husband, she has no idea how devastating the consequences will be. When a death follows, one split-second lie threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. If protecting your family meant allowing a killer to walk free… what choice would you make?
