During a spell at a psychiatric rehabilitation centre, Michael falls in love with Kate. He summons up the courage to move in with her and break away from Peter, but will he be able to escape from their troubled past?

Kate and Michael are happily settling into married life, putting their ruined honeymoon and Peter behind them. But when Peter's father dies, leaving a cottage to Michael, he is drawn back into their lives. A contrite Peter manages to persuade Michael that he has changed - although Kate is less than convinced. Miller continues to haunt all of them and Kate finds herself in mortal danger. Only when she confronts the secrets of the past does she come to understand - and the truth is terrifying.
