From her downstairs apartment in suburban London, Emma has often overheard the everyday life of the seemingly perfect family upstairs. Until one day, she hears that teenager Freya has vanished and the police are questioning her parents, Steph and Paul. The effects of Freya's disappearance ripple outward, affecting everyone who lives in the building. Each character's life is thrown into sharp focus as devastating mistakes and long-held secrets are picked apart and other crimes come to light that make clear that the past never stays where we leave it, and that homes can be built on foundations of lies.
