On the surface, Bramley Common appears to be an ideal village, but you never know what’s going on behind your neighbours’ front doors… Three friends are facing heartache in their closest relationships, with a nest of secrets that threaten to explode. There’s Jo, who lost her husband early but is stunned to learn things about him that will change her forever. Nicki, who has a turbulent relationship with her husband; the longer she has been with him, the less she knows about him. And Lucy, unhappily married and tempted by a TV actor filming on location. The village is facing the threat of unwelcome local development, which could split the Common apart. On top of everything, the village is rumoured to have a ghost. One year, three women and an onslaught of dilemmas. Can their friendships help them to survive? Or perhaps even to thrive?
