The story follows Emma, a lab technician, who is shocked to discover that her mother, who was murdered when she was seven, is being used in an online course designed to teach the principles of forensic science using a 'fictional' murder case. Emma is determined to find out what really happened to her mum.
The synopsis reads: "When Izzy tells her that Marie [her mum] was dismembered, Emma is horrified. Why has no-one ever told her that before? And why does Drew have a photo of himself in bed with Marie when she was married to Emma’s stepdad Jimmy?"
