John and Eleanor Hamilton are middle-aged, wealthy, and settled in their comfortable life in Hampshire and London. John has never wanted children, so instead Eleanor has used her energies to help run the family business and get involved in the local community. But one day, to her horror, she discovers that her husband has led a secret life: not only has he had a mistress for over twenty years, but they also have a nineteen-year-old daughter – just the sort of daughter Eleanor would have wanted.

The jealousy that Eleanor feels is all-consuming, driving her to limits she would never have thought possible. Then fate intervenes in the shape of a terrible accident. While, ironically, the tragedy sows the seeds for an unexpected and extraordinary love story, at the same time the tables are turned against John and he finds his future lies in the hands of the three women he has deceived and betrayed…
