From the outside, Olivia Brooks’s life seems cloudless and carefree: a loving husband who fulfills all her whims, three wonderful children, a comfortable house in the suburbs of Manchester. But one day Robert, Olivia’s husband, reports to the police that his wife and children have mysteriously disappeared. At the same time, all her personal belongings — including her wallet and mobile phone — are left in their places. But this isn’t the only strange thing that immediately catches the officers’ attention. Detective Tom Douglas remembers that the name Olivia Brooks has repeatedly appeared in cases where, during the investigation, no criminal intent could be found. What happened turned out to be either an unfortunate accident or a simple misunderstanding. So what happened this time to the young woman and her children? Tom Douglas has to answer a difficult question: which of the spouses wove the intricate intrigue, and which became a victim who knew nothing about it?
