In the queue for the toilets at Gatwick, a teenage girl catches 57-year-old Maggie Benson's eye in the mirror and mouths the word 'help.' Maggie's reaction leads to the dramatic rescue of the teenager from her trafficker and Maggie becomes a hero. But when the story gets picked up by the papers, Maggie is panicked by the publicity, as well as the strange phone calls she begins to receive. Meanwhile, Anja makes contact. She wants to thank her rescuer, but she also quickly inserts herself into Maggie's lonely life. As their friendship develops, so do questions: who is Maggie hiding from, and what are Anja's true motives? And what is the cost of living a lie?
