But something sinister is in the air. Old school friend, Abigail Sommers, has suddenly appeared on Clara's doorstep with no explanation. As a high-ranking employee in Albion Industries, the leading beauty product manufacturer in Britain, could Abigail's appearance at the time of the pills launch really be just a coincidence?

Trouble ensues when people start to become sick and end up in hospital. Could the diet pills have been poisoned? Was it a terrible mistake or has someone deliberately set out to make residents of the town ill? When Oliver becomes one of the victims, Clara is swiftly involved in trying to determine how and why people have been made sick, she finds herself embroiled in a strange case of industrial espionage and the dangerous side of beauty pageants, along with wondering just who her old school friend really is.
