The grass isn't always greener in this seemingly idyllic neighborhood where danger lurks behind twitching curtains and secret fantasies and desires don't stay hidden for long. When Evie and Pete move into the upscale neighborhood with the dream of starting a family, they soon find friendship in the shape of the couple next door, alpha traffic cop Danny (Heughan) and his wife, glamorous yoga instructor Becka. As time goes on, these two couples get increasingly close to each other and one fateful night, become sexually entangled in a way that will change their lives forever.
In addition to Heughan, the drama stars Eleanor Tomlinson, Jessica De Gouw and Alfred Enoch.
David Allison created the drama. He executive produces with Jo McGrath, Walter Iuzzolino, Alison Kee and director Dries Vos. Eagle Eye Drama and Beta Film produce.
