One street, one loud noise and five stories of what really happened on Christmas Eve in Peacock Close.
Peacock Close is an ordinary cul-de-sac of red brick houses but when the residents hear a gun shot on Christmas Eve, facades begin to crumble.
Annie, an agoraphobic trapped inside the Maples is desperate for a night out. Dan and Susie at the Hollies were planning a special night in until her bitter ex fails to drop off her son. Drama queen Ella is hiding more than her Gucci shoe collection inside the Oaks. The couple rifling through the gifts under the tree at the Conifers are not the Browns they pretend to be. And in the Elms, workaholic Becky finds incriminating evidence involving her step-son and Scarlett, the teen tearaway who lives at Evergreen.
When the police surround the Close, more than one household is worried with what they might discover and what the neighbours heard.
