Description

A delicious recipe for domestic disaster!

Take one small town where everyone thinks they know everyone else's business. Add three households. Mix in several large dollops of scandal, some secrets and a tragedy. Turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Season with one eccentric old lady and serve with the tabloid press and a big helping of local gossip.
