A mother and daughter are discovered, murdered, by Detective Sergeant Hal Hawksley (Christopher Fulford) -- and the shock of the grisly find prompts him to quit the force. Five years later, Rosalind Lee (Caroline Goodall) is assigned to write a book about the infamous murders and the confessed killer, Olive Martin (Pauline Quirke), known less-than-affectionately as "The Sculptress." Roz finds herself curiously drawn to her strange subject -- and, despite Olive's protestations, the possibility that Olive is innocent. But if Olive is innocent, who is she protecting, and why?
