Sometimes the nightmare can last forever...

Nikki Grant has her whole life ahead of her when she discovers she’s pregnant. But she welcomes the news with joy – the baby will be a wonderful addition to the happy household she shares with the love her life, Spencer James, and three close friends. Nikki’s parents have a very different view of what the baby is going to mean to their daughter’s future. Deeply disapproving of Spencer and the friends Nikki has chosen, their frustrations reach breaking point when Nikki refuses to be controlled by them any more. After she storms out, a rift opens up between them that breaks their hearts, but they are all too proud to back down.

Baby Zac arrives and is perfect in every way. And with Spencer’s career taking off they are ready to make the big move to London. Then suddenly events start to rush them down a very different road and nothing could have prepared them for where they find themselves. It is a frightening and alien place with Zac at the centre of it and Nikki desperately trying to hold onto her baby, her life, her dreams. And as they become evermore embroiled in a world they cannot escape, the love between Nikki and her son is put to the kind of test no parent should ever have to face…
