A mysterious encounter. An unlikely bond. But can it withstand the truth?

As single mother Leah juggles her daily responsibilities, the doorbell rings unexpectedly. Standing on their terraced house's doorstep in Whitley Bay is a well-dressed stranger named Clio, who feels an inexplicable connection to the house. The story might have ended there, but a long-buried secret is slowly emerging.

In many ways, the two women couldn't be more different: Leah is a mother of two and the daughter of a barmaid, while Clio is a perpetually single heiress to her baroness mother's estate. However, where Leah lacks companionship, Clio lacks exposure to the outside world, and their chance first meeting sparks an unlikely friendship that provides both of them with a much-needed break from their daily routines.

This friendship will unravel secrets neither of them knew they had, revealing hidden stories from the past that have remained hidden for decades. But will it also be the catalyst that finally allows them to feel a sense of belonging?
