Synopsis

Dedicated private eye, Michael McCready (Lorcan Cranitch) and his sparky daughter / business partner, Clare (Patsy Palmer) are a double-act united by blood, but divided by a generation. The pair uncover the deep secrets and passions that divide friends and families and drive them to desperate acts. Italian restaurants, dating agencies, family businesses, pubs and a housing development turn out to be hotbeds of rivalry, hatred and forbidden love. It's a calling that, as often as not, demands an understanding of human nature as much as a keen eye for clues. And, during the investigations into other people's secrets, McCready and Clare also have to tackle the conflict in their own relationship.
