A story about a gated community. Oh yes, such things are so common in the UK, aren't they? The story itself isn't so bad. Far-fetched, but that's what one expects from a TV drama. No, the real problem is the appalling acting. Every actor in this show is truly terrible. It's not that the acting is wooden. I could've coped with that. If you've seen the Spinal Tap movie you'll remember they wrote a musical about Jack the Ripper: Saucy Jack. Well this dross is about as close to Saucy Jack as it's possible to get.

This show was the acting equivalent of nails on a blackboard. Highly unpleasant.

Summary:

When one of Tom Delaney's daughters goes missing, he does everything possible to find her. Along the way, he uncovers some dark secrets from not only his dead wife's past, but from his closest friends. The plot has a lot of twists and hints that leave you wanting more after each episode.

The ending summed things up nicely but it seems...
