 Leeanne Rosser s life is getting tougher and tougher each day. Her mother cannot accept her as a solo mother and is feeling the pull of the Church, whilst her father cannot seem to bring them all together. Worlds separate Leanne s brother Brent, a petty thief, from Ulla Peet, wife of Athco Properties  Athol Peet. But a burglary gone wrong brings them into a confrontation that will change their lives - and perhaps end them... Brent turns to murder, of the most brutal kind. Gordon Peet, brother of Athol and son of high-flying Howie, jumps on the money-go-round and is jailed for corporate fraud. Gwen and Ulla, who is now a quadriplegic, move towards a  criminal  solution of their problem. Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale, beer-sodden Danny abuses Leeanne Rosser at will - until Leeanne decides to fight back.
