And half a dozen lives will come unravelled. There?s Kathryn and Howard, Rob?s parents. Kath has been making the best of her second marriage after the love of her life died young. Howard has been clinging onto a family life he hardly expected to have. There?s Joanna, the teen queen of nowheresville. She?s been looking for a way out, escape from her parents? broken marriage. She thought Rob might take her away from all this, but lately she?s started to think Rob might have other plans.
