Jessica and Nick and their 14-year-old daughter Alice relocate to the countryside, hoping to leave financial struggles and family conflicts behind. The couple decide to take in artist Sian as a lodger to ease their money worries, but issues arrise.

Sian guesses the safe's combination and takes a slip of paper, a pawnshop receipt, which she reveals to Jessica after being asked about Nick's infidelity. Alice confides in Sian about difficulties with her parents.

Sian lies to Alice about her parents not caring for her, and Fay is left reeling at the news that Sian wants to bring Alice to her house, leading them to argue about family history.

Sian takes Alice to a desolate caravan park and reveals that this is where she came to have her baby. Jessica and Nick attempt to find the youngster, a search which leads to a desperate showdown.
