Clare meets Pete and finds him sexy, bright, amusing and passionate. What she does not know is that Pete has a problem with anger.
The drama is based on intensive research and harrowing real-stories of both men and women, victims and perpetrators who have first hand experience of this endemic, but private crime.
Many of the central characters' main monologues are spoken directly to camera, and are based on the testimonies given by those individuals who were interviewed and for whom domestic violence is a reality.
