Without Sin on Channel 7 – We meet Stella Tomlinson three years on from the night that her 14-year-old daughter Maisy was found murdered at their family home, with the hooded figure of Charles Stone standing over her body.
Wracked with guilt and remorse at the events of that night, Stella chooses to live a nocturnal existence as an Uber driver.
She is estranged from her ex-husband PAUL, who still lives in their old family home with his new girlfriend, Meera.
When contacted by Restorative Justice, and in an attempt to move on, Stella and Paul reunite to listen to a taped recording of Charles, who they believe wants to atone for his sins and apologise for murdering their daughter.
Following this development, Stella returns to her roots in the Millfields estate – a stark contrast to the middle-class neighbourhood she lived in with Paul and Maisy – and surrounds herself with the people she holds dear, her mother Jessie and ex-boyfriend turned best friend Remy.
But when Paul tells her that Meera is pregnant and he wants to move on with his life, Stella hits rock bottom.
With nothing to lose, Stella agrees to visit the prison alongside a Restorative Justice Mediator Bobbi, and come face to face with her daughter’s killer.
But instead of confessing to Maisy’s murder, Charles flips the meeting, telling Stella he’s been framed. He urges Stella to investigate the disappearance of another local girl, Cleo Dale, who he believes is somehow connected to Maisy’s death.
At home, Stella tries to push Charles’ words out of her head, but when she learns that Maisy and Cleo were friends – they attended the same local riding school – she returns to the prison to meet with Charles again.
Without Sin – Wednesday 23 August at 9.10pm on Channel 7 and 7plus (double episode)
