At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Lily Hundreds appears to have achieved her wildest dreams. She has a successful career, wealth, close friends, the support of the Great British public and the heart of the man she loves.

She swears Iago never saw her in a romantic light until she was older, but how well does she really know her partner? Iago is certainly a man who has secrets, but how dark are these secrets? What will their impact be on Lily?
