Title: The secret between us
Description: One lie sends a family into turmoil when Deborah Monroe's car hits and kills a man on a deserted road on a dark and rainy night. Questions of who is to blame muddy the already complicated life of a woman who is newly divorced and struggling with emotions that are rampant, in a house with two vulnerable children. Deborah's daughter, sixteen-year-old Grace, was behind the wheel but, desperate to protect her daughter, Deborah covers for her and takes responsibility for the death of the man. However, when it seems that the victim may or may not have been suicidal, issues of guilt and responsibility, truth and honesty, are all brought into sharp focus.
