She is catapulted into the privileged and excessive world of Londons financial elite. At first everything is overwhelming - from twins who speak their own language to a teenage girl with weight issues and a son almost her own age. Then there is Bryony, who has one eye on her dazzling career and the other on Alis failings. When boom turns to bust and a scandal erupts that suggests something corrupt has been hatched behind the Skinners front door, their private life is suddenly public news.

But is she principled enough to keep the familys secrets when the press come prowling for the inside scoop? Or will she dish the dirt on the family who never saw her as anything other than part of the scenery?
