Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Childhood soulmates Georgia and Holly are only a few weeks into the so-called best years of their lives at university in Edinburgh, when Georgia gets drawn into the elite clique of alpha-girls, led by lecturer Jude McDermid. Jude's brand of feminism is alluring, just like the circle of bright students with which she surrounds herself. Georgia's effortless entry into the clique leaves Holly out in the cold. But Holly's jealousy soon escalates to panic when Georgia begins acting erratically. Alarmed by her best friend's transformation, Holly is compelled to follow her into Jude's closely guarded circle. What she discovers is a seductive world of lavish parties populated by Edinburgh's highest-powered business men and women. But it's a world underpinned by sordid compromise, and as Holly exposes its deeply-corrupt core, the danger mounts, from all angles, for her and Georgia. Can Holly reclaim her soulmate? And at what cost to herself? |

| Trivia | BBC Three kicked off the show's marketing campaign with a controversial choice. According to the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) of Britain's website, on Feb. 19, 2017, the network began a five-day campaign that included only advertisements for a seemingly real company: Solasta Finance. They created a Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram account for the company, as well as a commercial that featured actor Rachel Hurd Wood encouraging ambitious young women to apply. See more » |
