Posted on Saturday, March 20th, 2010 by Leah
After the murder of teacher Marcus Halnsley, Poppy Carlisle and Serena Gorringe find themselves suddenly in the glare of the worlds’ media. Poppy ends up convicted of the crime and gets life in prison whereas Serena gets to walk free. Years later Poppy gets released from prison and is determined to clear her name and get Serena to confess to killing Marcus.
Serena, however, wants to keep the past firmly where it is: in the past as she never actually got around to telling her husband Evan about the entire debacle. Which girl will win out? Will Poppy finally be able to clear her name and prove her innocence or will Serena manage to keep everything buried back in the 80’s? The most important question of all though is who exactly did kill Marcus Halsnley?
