She will play the part of Joe's protective mother in a tale that promises to be full of surprises.

Here we see the two leading ladies standing side by side in black ensembles, in scenes which could be Joe's funeral.

As part of the plot, Michelle's character installs a nanny-cam to look out for her young daughter, but was shocked to see a man she recognises in her house.

The person she recognises is none other than the husband that she thought was dead.

Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant Sami Kierce (played by Adeel Akhtar) is leading the investigation of homicide into Joe's death.

This is while the police officer is grappling with tense secrets of his own.

This comes as Maya's niece and nephew named Abby and Daniel are on a mission to find the truth of their own mother's murder which occurred several months earlier.

The tense thriller drama follows the set of characters as they seek the truth and reveal shocking and life-changing secrets along the way.
