This is an English TV movie made by the BBC and it is clearly made on a limited budget. Nevertheless it is very well acted by the three main characters and holds your interest until the end, which is a slight disappointment. The other issue was that I clearly felt I had seen it before (which I hadn't), Two small children murder another child and they are locked away until being released years later with new identities. One has married and raised a family, the other has had a disjointed life. She traces the married woman and cons her way into a job within the family business of the married woman. Slowly she ensnares the husband (who has no knowledge of his wife's past) and he moves in with the single woman. How this is resolved I leave to your viewing of the movie, The version I saw (on Hallmark) ran about 95 minutes. I think the two hour version may tie up several loose ends involving the more minor roles of the married woman's father and the business secretary both played by former British "names" but wasted in this version.
