While taking part in an online course on forensic science, she is asked to identifying the victim of a supposedly fictitious crime.
But Emma knows that the case isn’t fake, because the victim is her mum.
Determined to find out the truth behind the case, Emma uncovers more secrets along the way and also falls for Daniel (Martin Comspton) who is also caught up in the investigation.
Martin has previously spoken about his character of Daniel, he told Radio Times: “His dad passed him on one of his building companies and there’s a suspicious fire which results in a couple of fatalities.
“Daniel’s company did the original building work for where the fire happened and legally they’re drawn into it, whether they might have possibly been culpable for the fire.
“At the same time he’s met Molly’s character and those two are falling for each other, but they’re both in very turbulent times in their lives so it makes for some fiery encounters!”
