Clara, cornered, admits the truth: “Sasha is the sister I couldn’t save. She took Lucy because she thinks Paul is the same man who hurt us as children. But Paul isn’t. He’s good. I lied about Nina dying so Sasha could disappear. But she never did.” The climax takes place at low tide, beneath the rusting skeleton of an old pier—a place called “The Strip” by locals, a narrow spit of land only accessible when the bay retreats. Sasha (believing herself to be Nina) has brought Lucy here to perform a “cleansing.” Lucy is not tied up. She is drawing in the sand with a stick, calm. “Auntie Sasha says we’re going on a trip,” Lucy tells Jenn. “To where the water was before.”

Description: dark hair, blue coat, not matching Clara. When shown CCTV, Clara’s face goes white. “That’s my sister,” she whispers. Nina (42) , estranged for six years. Nina was the artistic one.

Act One: The Calm Before the Sink Detective Sergeant Jenn Townsend (now six months into her role as Family Liaison Officer in Morecambe Bay) is trying to cook dinner for her blended family. Her phone buzzes with a text from her teenage daughter, Maisie: “Don’t wait up. Staying at Chloe’s.” Jenn knows Chloe’s parents are away. She knows Maisie is lying. But the second buzz is the one that changes everything: a missing child alert. Lucy Farrow, age 9, last seen leaving her after-school art club near Heysham village, 3:30 PM. It is now 9 PM.
