Tara stabs her husband John as she cannot forgive him for what he has done. Tara is young, beautiful and against huge adversity owns a successful recruitment consultancy firm in Ireland. Her father, a drunken abusive alcoholic, her mother, a wreck. Having suffered mental and physical abuse Tara and her sister Alison go into foster care. Alison wasn't immune to their difficult childhood but being younger she was shielded from the many abuses, but she is scarred and wounded. Alison unable to cope, turns to prostitution for a living which supports a deadly, unquenchable drug habit. John, one of the country's most successful construction firm owners. A self made man with a point to prove to his father who is never satisfied. John's environment and surroundings provide the base for a desperate need to prove himself. He falls in love with Tara and for the first time he meets his father's approval and will do anything to keep that approval. Once Tara is reeled in by John's charm and sophistication she is blind to his many faults. Controlling with strange sexual tendencies Tara is not entirely happy but she wants children. John's business begins to fail and borrowings are extravagant. He uses Tara's business as collateral. Things begin to crumble and their marriage starts to un-ravel. John after a boozy night picks up Dawn. Things get out of hand and he kills her and tries to cover his tracks and concentrate on his marriage. Tragedy strikes again when Tara is devastated that her sister is found dead. John comforts her in a daze of drink and debt. Tara is appreciative of John's strength and support until she learns the awful truth and something in her snaps. In shock and with murderous thoughts Tara sets about her plan. Broke and desperate Tara turns to Leon an old friend who would do anything for her and Tara exploits his need. When John stole Tara's heart, Leon was consumed with jealousy and waited for the day he would have Tara to himself. Tara plotted meticulously to make her crime look like self defence. With Leon's help she might convince everyone that it was self defence. If not will she overdose herself. John was well insured and that would solve her financial troubles but only if she stays out of jail. She cares about Leon but doesn't love him and being with him would be a small price to pay to get back what she lost. Love, Betrayal and Murder. They were inevitable the moment Tara and John met.
