Shelley Fitzgibbon has it all – a charismatic, successful husband,
three beautiful children and the lifestyle of her dreams.
But
then her husband, Charlie, disappears, leaving behind more than
just a business empire in crisis . . .
The
luxurious family home is sold and while Shelley’s daughters Olivia
and Emma come to terms with being broke, eleven year old Mac
refuses to talk about what happened.
When Charlie’s estranged mother, Vera
opens her doors to the broken family,
secrets from the past emerge that reveal there was more to the
Fitzgibbon family than meets the eye.
And
while Shelley struggles to keep her family together, she wonders
if she ever really knew the man she married.
Meanwhile, six thousand miles away in sunny Cape Town, Charlie is
wrestling with life-changing decisions of his own.
Can
you ever really know anyone?
Is
blood is always thicker than water?
Maybe Charlie’s family are simply better off without him
