Sometimes you have to take the law into your own hands... After unexpectedly losing her high-powered job in Hong Kong, forty-something widow, Maggie Macbeth, turns up on the doorstep of her old sidekick, Cath, in the sleepy Peak District village of Archdale. A fish out of water, Maggie comes into conflict with everyone and everything -- especially Cath's awful friend Tiggy - and rock bottom is just around the corner.
