In the debut episode, Sian, Daniel, and Chloe Watson are left in shock following their father Dennis’s sudden demise. To their astonishment, his will reveals that everything, including the family home, is bequeathed to a woman they’ve never encountered. This woman, who had a clandestine 14-year affair with their father and married him in secret, becomes the epicentre of suspicion.
As the siblings scrutinize their father’s life, they harbour growing doubts about Susan’s involvement in his death. Why was her existence concealed from them? Why was Dennis hiding signs of dementia?
Unsettling discoveries of hidden potent substances and chemicals around his house raise more questions. Moreover, the contradiction between his wish for cremation and his prearranged burial plot alongside their mother baffles them.
While the siblings attempt to piece together the puzzle, they remain oblivious to the fact that someone is surveilling them – Dennis’s family videos are being watched, and secrets are being monitored.
At the same time, they are unaware that they are each hiding their own secrets, capable of shattering their already fragile relationships. The tension escalates on the day of their father’s funeral, as Dennis’s cremation is about to take place. A sudden intrusion by the coroner unveils suspicions of foul play in his demise.
