Problems old and new haunt a couple’s bid to save their marriage by moving to France. Stars Ewan Bailey and Rosie Cavaliero.

Anna’s son Joe has now been missing for six days - the gendarmes want to interview all the house guests.

To save their marriage, Anna and John have moved to rural Southern France - a place they once visited on holiday and didn't know at all well. It may have been an act of folly, but worth the risk for their survival.

But their dream of a new life in France was shattered when their 16 year-old son disappeared and they find that they, and each of their house guests, are police suspects...
