Synopsis

In November 2015, an astonishing and macabre discovery thrusts Beddau, a sleepy former mining village in the heart of the Welsh Valleys, into the spotlight. What begins as a seemingly harmless prank involving a medical skeleton found in the secure garden of a quiet residential block takes a horrifying turn when it is revealed that the ‘skeleton’ is, in fact, a dead body wrapped in over 40 layers of plastic. What emerges is a gripping murder mystery intertwined with a dramatic family saga, making headline news and sending shockwaves from the heart of the Welsh Valleys to the suburbs of New Zealand.
