BELLA'S WISH: When elderly Bella disappears and cannot be contacted, her oldest friend travels to her home in a remote village in France. He breaks into her house. There he finds no trace of Bella - but he discovers more about her than he has ever known. Including several reasons why she must vanish. Set in Languedoc.

ON ROMFORD ROAD: A century-long feud between two tough East London families as they climb from poverty to prosperity. One chooses the path of crime and corruption, the other toil and education, but they cannot escape a destiny that binds them together.

THE UNKNOWN MRS ROSEN: While her family argue over her care and struggle to deal with social services, the elderly Marjorie Rosen is reliving an unspoken life of espionage, betrayal and violence – about which they know nothing and must never find out.

LOVE: In the 'Summer of Love' 19-year-old Simon is drawn from his native London to San Francisco. He falls under the spell of Angela and enters her world of wealth, rock stars and the good life. But Angela wants to return to her former lover Jesse, who has made India his home. Angela and Simon set out on a journey to the East, but nothing turns out as they imagined.

THE SLAVE: Neil is a young loner who works as a van driver; Liliana is a trafficked woman forced into prostitution. When Neil becomes Liliana's client, she asks him to help her escape - and he is willing to do anything at all to free her.

THE J-WORD: Elderly Jack Silver is beaten up by an antisemitic gang. Together with 10-year-old grandson Danny, he sets out to track down the thugs and bring them to justice. The hunt takes Jack into memories of his childhood and the two unlikely heroes discover a shared identity spanning generations that eventually draws the whole family together.
