Despite their differences, Cleo and Harry unite to prove that the authorities have apprehended the wrong suspect, only to be met with resistance from the police.
Determined to seek justice, Cleo and Harry delve into the murky depths of a troubled marriage, where scandalous revelations and political influence reign supreme. As tensions rise at the Mayfair Hotel over expansion plans, conflicts emerge in the kitchen between the chef and Cleo's uncle.
