Touch Paper
In a secluded fisherman’s cabin perched on the cliffs, a terrible incident occurred. Is history now about to repeat itself?
In a small seaside town on the Norfolk coast, Becky Sullivan seduces a young teacher from her sixth form college. Together with her friends, they entice him to the deserted cabin with the intention of blackmailing him. But tragedy strikes when he suffers a heart attack and they flee, leaving him alone to die.
Five years later, Becky returns to the town hoping to make amends with his widow. However, the town and her old friends cannot escape the dark secrets that still haunt them, and Becky’s return opens up old wounds and rivalries.
As the past threatens to unravel, will the truth finally come out, and who will be destroyed if it does?
