Anna wants a fresh start. She doesn't believe she deserves it, but after three years behind bars she has finally paid her dues. Most of them, anyway. Lucy craves the attention of the only man she can't have, her alluring Oxford professor. He's married - not for the first time. Maybe she should be next in line? Marie the recluse has been locked up for too long. She's not ready to be free, but some rules are meant to be broken. Everyone wants a perfect life. But not everyone is prepared to take it. Unless someone decides to teach them a lesson.

Alison has it all. A doting husband, adorable daughter, and a career on the rise - she's just been given her first murder case to defend. But all is never as it seems. Just one more night. Then I'll end it. Alison drinks too much. She's neglecting her family. And she's having an affair with a colleague whose taste for pushing boundaries may be more than she can handle.

It's New Year's Eve and the stage is set for a lavish party in one of Edinburgh's best postcodes. It's a moment for old friends to set the past to rights—and move on. The night sky is alive with fireworks and the champagne is flowing. But the celebration fails to materialise. Because someone at this party is going to die tonight. Midnight approaches and the countdown begins—but it seems one of the guests doesn't want a resolution.

Alison ha tutto ciò che si può desiderare: un marito amorevole, una figlia adorabile e una carriera legale sulla rampa di lancio: le è stato appena affidato il suo primo caso di omicidio. La cliente che difenderà in giudizio non nega di avere pugnalato il marito e pare decisa a dichiararsi colpevole. Eppure c'è qualcosa di profondamente sbagliato nella storia che racconta. Ma anche nella vita di Alison non tutto è come sembra… Alison beve troppo e sta trascurando la sua famiglia.
