Her best friend, Lauren Branning, is spiralling. She insists she's in control, but the empty bottles tell a different story. And then there's the secret romance she's risking everything for-a love that could destroy her family if it ever came to light.
Meanwhile, Derek Branning is weaving himself deeper into everyone's lives. He's building bridges with long-lost children, plotting against enemies, and guarding a secret so explosive it could tear the Square in half.
