Living an idyllic family life in the Edinburgh suburbs, Lexie is oblivious to the fact that her husband, Jared, has been involved in massive money laundering for Cal Morris’s illegal operations. Financial investigators DC Jibran Khan (Prasanna Puwanarajah) and DCI Adam Guthrie (Derek Riddell) are diligently monitoring Jared’s every move, determined to use the Noble family as a means to bring Cal Morris to justice.
As a partner in Jared’s business, Lexie is coerced into working for Cal, all while the police close in. Soon, Lexie finds herself walking a perilous tightrope between Cal and the law enforcement, where her safety, and even her life, hang in the balance.
