From the Director of MI-5

"A deliciously twisted saga..." - The Mirror

"...the two lead performances from Haydn Gwynne and Stella Gonet are superb." - Birmingham Evening Mail

Revenge strikes hardest when life is built on a lie.

Emma Faraday is burdened by a devastating secret from her childhood - a secret she has kept hidden for years from everyone, including her husband. With two healthy children and a satisfying career, her happiness seems secure - until the day her old friend, Nadia, re-enters her life, seething with resentment and looking for revenge.

Armed with the closely guarded knowledge of that dark and terrible childhood event, Nadia seeks to systematically steal and destroy everything that Emma holds dear. Vulnerable to the threat of blackmail and impotent to halt the gradual disintegration of her perfect life, Emma wrestles her fear of exposure and inner guilt to find the strength to fight back - and keep the secret buried forever.

Starring: Haydn Gwynne (Merseybeat), Stella Gonet (The House of Eliot), Robert Bathurst (Cold Feet), John Woodvine (Vanity Fair), Lisa Millett (The Virgin Queen), David Troughton (All the King?s Men) and Archie Panjabi (The Constant Gardener)

This information about her self is so shameful to her that she has even kept hidden for years from everyone, including her husband. Emma has been keeping a secret from her childhood.

This situation sets her up to be taken advantage of by her old friend. Does Emma let her life and happiness be taken away or does she fight to keep her family together.

Then one day her old friend, Nadia, re-enters her life, with only one goal in mind, revenge. This saga is a made for BBC TV production.

Choices have to be made. The suspense that the lead character feels does come through the screen.

Emma Faraday is a wife and mother with two healthy children and a satisfying career, all seems fine and they are happy. Not wanting the secret out, Emma relinquishes almost total control to Nadia who systematically destroys her life.

If you can't be bothered to read the description properly then maybe you're not ready for online shopping. Interesting to see actors in different roles from the norm. I didn't get swayed by whatever this other film is - it wasn't the correct one and so I didn't click on it. I think it's highly unfair to give something a bad review just because you ordered the wrong dvd. I wanted The Secret starring Stella Gonet and Haydn Gwynne, searched and found it. Each actress now gets to play the opposite and they do a fine job. Stella Gonet (House of Elliot) gentle, softer characters.

Well worth viewing. Haydn Gwynne (Drop the Dead Donkey) is normally known for playing strong, assertive characters. Are none of you able to read a cast list or dvd description. I'm amazed at all the comments on here. As for this drama, as you would expect from a BBC production, the writing was fine, actors excellent and the story gripping.

This is a realistic account of how relationships can spoil through fear and denial of events or occurances in one's life. It has a rewarding ending to make up for the difficulties encountered through the process of self-discovery.

I want to make sure that those who are looking for the secret regarding the law of attraction, please do not buy this by mistake as I did. Although it is a fairly decent story, it is not what you are looking for in the secret so purchase what you are looking for first and perhaps if you have extra money and time to spend then you can buy this one also, further down on your list. It is a decent story, but definitely not "The Secret" you are expecting for spiritual growth, enlightenment, and/or financial success. This movie is about a life secret that people had been carrying for years. Altadena GEM. I actually ordered this product by mistake but that is on me. It finally caught up with them.

I got this cd by mistake as I wanted the other The Secret DVD. This is a strange and unusual movie.
