When the police turn up at choir practice one evening, asking questions about the disappearance of Ruth Pilkington, Mary's mind starts to work overtime. Will she unravel the truth behind Roger's secret before Linda commits to him and it's too late? Will Roger realise that Mary knows more about him than he thinks and make her pay the consequences?
