Fourteen years ago, Jinx's mother was brutally murdered in their East London home. Since then, her life – and relationships – have been poisoned with guilt.The sudden arrival of Lemon, an old friend of her mother's, changes everything. He wants to revisit the events leading to that terrible night, forcing Jinx to finally confront her past.
Fuelled by Lemon's sumptuous cooking and intoxicating story-telling, together they strip away the layers of the past to lay bare a family drama full of jealousy and tragic betrayal. But Lemon has secrets of his own to share. And as Jinx's life threatens to fall apart for a second time, she finally begins to believe that redemption might be within her grasp.
