This compelling and emotional drama series focuses on the love, heartache and friendship of four very different women, brought together when they visit their loved ones in prison.
Through powerful interweaving storylines we meet: Gemma, Francesca, Harriet and Lou. Gemma, who has a perfect life until her husband is arrested on suspicion of murder; Francesca, the glamorous wife of a career criminal; Harriet, a respectable mother whose tough love has seen her son imprisoned, and Lou, whose boyfriend has taken the rap for her crimes. Gemma, Francesca, Harriet and Lou need to find the resolve to get by as the men do their time. Despite just having the prison in common, they develop friendships strong enough to share their hurt, their dreams and their secrets.

Pregnant Gemma's world collapses when her husband Steve is remanded in custody on suspicion of murder, having been seen in a pub car park where a man was shot. Overwhelmed by her first prison visit she is befriended by wealthy,brassy Francesca,whose husband Ian is serving sixteen years for international drug-running. Further down the social ladder is tenement-dwelling,soft drug peddling Lou,who is taking her seven year old son Mason on his first visit to his father Sean.

Francesca is forced to get work as a hospital cleaner when her house is seized under a criminal compensation order. Despite Paul's displeasure she enjoys the independence and the company of handsome co-worker Lukasz but quits after her husband sends heavies to warn Lucasz off her. Whilst Gemma,accepting that the shooting was an accident,takes the gun from the caravan and throws it into a lake, Lou's visit to Sean makes it apparent that he took the blame for her crime and nervous,middle-class Harriet visits her son Gavin,who is less than welcoming to his mother.
