In the peaceful Scottish village of Kirkdarroch, fire breaks out one night at the home of Tom (David Tennant) and Kate Kendrick (Anna Madeley). Their friends and neighbors, Jess Milner (Cush Jumbo) and police sergeant Steve (Matthew McNulty), raise the alarm. Steve drags out Kate, who is already dead, but the three Kendrick children are padlocked in a room. Only Tom, the village GP, is pulled out unconscious by Steve but survives. It's discovered that all five were drugged with an IV drug before the fire and one of the girls had pine needles on her pajamas. CCTV shows Kate buying the padlock at a big box store. It quickly emerges that the family was not as happy as it seemed. Kate was on antidepressants and had recently flipped her car while driving Jess and the children, and Jess and married Tom were being unfaithful to their partners, having an affair.
