About this show

Our lives are complicated. We all have secrets. And sometimes the person we want others to see isn't the person we really are. This drama series considers the way we don't truly know the person working next to us. It's about the believable lies told in our daily lives for success, for survival, for love - the lies we tell through fear, unhappiness, and shame. Set in the offices and yard of Coopers, a large blue collar workplace, the series focusses on the lives of the staff, telling tough, truthful and challenging stories which show how we all have 'work' and 'private' personas and the two are kept very much apart.

Absolutely fabulously acted by every member of the cast. The story lines are exciting and of an excellent quality - they leave you wanting the programme to never end :) Everybody, from the writer to the actors, to the camera crew did a great job :)
