Behind a Closed Door

Housing office Josie Mellor loves the community spirit of the notorious Mitchell Estate – when it doesn't involve benefit cheats, aggression, or murder and mayhem, that is. But it isn't exactly a party for some of her tenants...Kelly Winterton thinks Josie is sticking her nose in where it's not wanted. Her partner's just been packed off to prison and she's left worrying how to fend for herself and her young daughter. Charlotte Hatfield has fled from her violent partner. With four children in tow, she lives in fear of him finding her again. Amy Cartwright has learning difficulties. She finds it hard enough looking out for herself and her six-month-old baby without being taken advantage of.In the midst of it all, Josie has secrets of her own. Trapped in a loveless marriage, she struggles to escape her controlling husband and, as her home life deteriorates, she realises only a thin line separates her from the people she's trying to help. Can Josie save herself and return the estate to relative normality when a spate of burglaries causes havoc and deadly violence erupts? Or will both she and her tenants become victims of violence that no one will see?
