Quickly wedded, she leaves to travel the world with her new husband. But she soon discovers that married life isn't all that it seems ... In 1980, Joy's young daughter Kate mysteriously flees the family home. Fifteen years later, Kate's own daughter Sabine leaves London in search of grandparents she has never known. When the family is finally reunited, hidden tensions come to the surface, uncovering a dark secret which for years had been deeply buried.
