After the Party on ABC – Penny’s (Robyn Malcolm) world implodes when she accuses her husband Phil (Peter Mullan) of a sex crime against her daughter’s teenage friend and nobody believes her.
Five years later, he returns from Scotland and moves in with Penny’s daughter Grace (Tara Canton) and grandchild. Grace begs her to put the past behind them, but when Phil takes up a teaching position Penny is again compelled to prove his guilt, reopening barely covered wounds in those around her and causing Grace to cut her out of her life.
An increasingly alienated Penny is forced to choose what’s more important – the truth or her relationship with her daughter.
