Synopsis

Rhona Laski's life is squeezed into her en suite room in the Sidney Fleiss Old People's Home in the suburban village of Didsbury, where Manchester's cotton barons built their Victorian villas, and where a community like no other laid its roots. Meanwhile, her friend Sylvia's elegant home 'Lynton' must be sold, yet no buyer can be found in this property hot-spot. Sylvia's granddaughter should know why, working as she does for the estate agency selling the house, but her attentions become focused on a photographer with a passion for the endangered and overlooked. The question is Who is being Taken for a Ride by Whom?
