A government raid goes terribly wrong and a young mother is
murdered. No one in Cressida's family is prepared for the
consequences of that tragedy. Her lover, Simon, escapes into hiding
and the couple's small daughter, Enid, is left in her grandmother's
care.
Revenge becomes paramount for Simon's stepfather, Colin
Humphrey, as he ruthlessly pursues a wrongful death lawsuit against
the government. But the other members of her family struggle
painfully to come to grips with their horrible loss. Cressida's
aunts and uncles want to help but they find themselves paralyzed by
the senseless killing. Finally, Cressida's two cousins, Valerie and
Melody, set out on a mission to find Simon. But an unexpected
stranger from Simon's past complicates the difficult work of
repairing this damaged family.
Like a giant puzzle with its pieces hopelessly scattered, "In
The Clear" tells the story of a family moving painfully, but
inexorably toward healing.
