This three-part revenge tragedy tells the story of two people who become fatally entangled.
Paula and James are worlds apart. While they both live in Dublin, Paula is a well-respected science teacher whereas James scrapes by from day to day by doing maintenance jobs, stealing from his poorly mother, and sleeping with his clients.
When Paula hears strange scuttling noises in her basement, she hires James to exterminate the rats. The two share a frenzied one-night stand, in a fleeting moment of passion which has a brutal impact on Paula's life.
Her job, family, and friends are drawn into this new dark world as she is quickly pulled into a vicious game of cat and mouse with James.
As James' grip on Paula's life strengthens, her sense of normality shatters. Local detective and confidante Mac struggles to reach or protect her, and Paula is forced to access the darkest depths of her soul in order to survive.
Will she work out how to protect herself from a man who will not stop coming for her?
