Experienced foster carer Rosie Lewis faces a battle to uncover the
dark family secret that is tearing a family apart. Rosie is used to
looking after children from difficult home situations, but she
finds herself struggling when she agrees to take in Taylor and her
younger brother, Reece, for a short while. Taylor tries desperately
not to fit in, to be the tough young teen that she has had to
become, making it clear that she cares about nothing and no-one,
while Reece is just desperate for someone to love him. Rosie finds
herself battling an unknown monster in their past, as social media
and the Internet become a means to control and manipulate the
siblings while in her care. And then a more sinister turn of events
causes Rosie to dig into their past, desperate to discover the
truth before her time with them is over and they must be returned
to their family.

Rosie's loving care. Rosie is supposed to help Megan find her new
permanent home, but it turns out that Megan has already found her
'forever mummy' in Rosie. Rosie grows incredibly attached to Megan
and applies to adopt her, but the system refuses her in favour of a
young couple and Rosie is devastated. Against all her instincts,
Rosie does her job and prepares Megan for her new 'forever family',
but everything about Megan leaving feels wrong. When Rosie learns a
few months later that Megan's adoption has broken down, she is
saddened but also filled with hope - will this little girl be
allowed to return to her true 'forever home'?
