SYNOPSIS

Kirstie tries to sneak in after a disastrous first date with Michael - and is caught by her mother, who has been waiting up.
Years of bitter conflicts gradually erupt as Sarah and Kirstie finally confront the unspoken issues between them.
Michael's arrival after Kirstie has fled in tears only makes things worse; but eventually, as the layers of lies and truths wielded as weapons are stripped away, the core of their relationship is exposed - and can be rebuilt.
