SMALL ACTS OF DECEIT After receiving a call from her estranged half-sister, Lena, the life of heiress Mauve Gilcrest unravels. Mauve finds Lena’s flat covered in blood but no body, and a doll linked to the past murder, eight years prior - of Paulette Franklin. Haunted by the fragmented memories of that murder, Mauve must confront her dark past. With the police investigation tying her to the murders of both Paulette and Lena, Mauve goes on the run. Her son Kit insists on accompanying his mother and asks his cousin, Lena’s daughter, Eliza, to go with them. Mauve does not trust Eliza, believing her niece is working with an uncle, and together, having murdered Lena, they were attempting to frame her. When photographs of Mauve and Kit appear in the press, Kit uses his skills as a make-up artist to alter the appearance of his mother, and Kit's alter-ego, the glamourous Veronica, takes his place on the journey. Having failed to get Mauve to give herself up, Charlie Morrison, her legal advisor and only true friend, joins her, and with no place left to hide, Mauve must finally face her demons. |
