Someone close to home must be responsible. But other than the young couple who live in the Manor, and their housekeeper in the Coach House next door, there's no one around for miles.

Who among them is capable of murder?

Lottery winners Tom and Nicole are living a fairy-tale life in their dream home - a state-of-the-art glass barn conversion on Gloucestershire's breath-taking Lancaut peninsula.

They have everything they ever dreamed of. That is, until Tom is found dead, floating in the turquoise waters of their swimming pool, with a nasty wound on his head.

Someone close to home must be responsible. But other than the young couple who live in the Manor on the estate, and their housekeeper in the Coach House next door, there's no one around for miles.

Who would want to turn their dream into a nightmare?
