Leanne Crompton had it all - beauty, fame, money. But when she is sacked by her modelling agency she soon finds herself penniless. With her seven-year-old daughter Kia to support, she has no option but to head north to her home town… back to her wayward family.
With a brother just released from prison, another being taken for a mug by his wannabe-WAG girlfriend, and two sisters trying to escape from her shadow, life with the Cromptons is a harsh reminder of how far she’s fallen.
Now, starting over and with an explosive secret to hold on to - the identity of Kia’s dad - things start to get tough.
Will she finally be able to trust her ruthless mother Tracy not to sell her out to the papers? Or will Kia’s dad catch up with her and silence her for good?
