Su un treno in partenza dalla stazione di Manchester una donna siede tra i pendolari assonnati e si asciuga le lacrime cercando di non farsi notare. Emily ha un matrimonio felice, un figlio, una bella casa. Eppure ha appena abbandonato tutto affidandosi a un biglietto del treno e un nuovo nome. Poche ore prima si è alzata, si è vestita cercando di non fare rumore ed è uscita dalla camera da letto senza nemmeno uno sguardo al marito, sicura che se lui si fosse svegliato le avrebbe impedito di andarsene. Invece la sua partenza è stata incredibilmente facile, è bastato prendere un po' di denaro, infilare le cose indispensabili in borsetta e non pensare alle persone che si stava lasciando alle spalle. Emily è determinata a cercare un nuovo inizio, a costruire per la nuova se stessa una vita del tutto opposta a quella giudiziosa e perbene che ha condotto fino a quel momento, ma un'ombra non l'abbandona: il ricordo della sorella gemella, Caroline, che l'ha sempre odiata e che, apparentemente, ha cercato di rovinarle la vita in tutti i modi possibili. Ma quale segreto lega le due sorelle, quale evento nel loro passato incombe funesto sulla fuga di Emily? E soprattutto, è davvero così semplice sparire e iniziare tutto da capo?

Next door, in the grandest house, Layla is unhappily married to a much older man and desperately misses her young son, who has been banished to boarding school. When lonely Nicole from over the road confides her own secret heartache to Layla, the two women form an unlikely bond--until one of them attracts the attention of their mysterious new neighbour. The only person to sense something dangerous about Andy is busybody Joan. But will her suspicions bring her more than she bargains for? As the past catches up with the residents of Hope Close, it becomes clear that the intriguing new neighbour isn't the only one with something to hide...
