Synopsis
2015. Veselina has left behind tragedy in Bulgaria for a new life in England, against the wishes of her family.
Too proud to admit her misjudgement when her dream turns sour, she takes work as a maid for politician Gerard Fosh, tipped to be the next Prime Minister, and his wife Alison, also an MP with secret desires of her own.
Soon Veselina suspects Gerard of a relationship with his ambitious political aide that could ruin his reputation and his career.
As she comes under pressure to uncover the truth, can Veselina confront the deception in her own life? And will others be able to do the same?
