Simone Burbeck’s life appears perfect. She lives in a mansion with her perfect husband and children, and her life is a merry-go-round of expensive renovations, dinner parties and school fundraisers. There’s just one problem: it’s all lies. When her husband has a fatal heart attack in a disastrous session with a sex worker, the true state of their finances…
Wealthy London housewife Simeone Cooper has to return to her home town in Australia, where she is forced revisit the past and finally face up to the friends and family she left behind - who only ever knew her as Sammy.
Sammy starts working for an old school mate, who's keen to punish her for the past. Her ex also makes it clear he hasn't forgiven her.
Sammy goes snooping for evidence to blackmail Chris. Lenny pals up with a fellow misfit and a date lands Jean in hot water.
Sammy pitches her partnership deal to Chris during a business trip. But then an incident in a casino puts her in an awkward situation.
After a harsh realisation, Sammy aims to reclaim her worth by helping at the school disco. But the dance soon turns into a debacle.
Sammy gets good news about her husband's estate. But as she plans their escape, things prove far more complicated than she imagined.
Having made it out of Australia, Sammy and her kids Lenny and Tess live in a tiny London flat while she frantically tries to prove that her lawyer, Rufus, stole her house. Barely able to make ends meet working in ‘exhaust management’ (she’s a secretary in a muffler repair shop), Sammy is desperate to find a way to reclaim her opulent London life.
