WHO IS LAURA CLARK?
To her colleagues: an invisible forty-something HR manager who restocks the meeting-room snacks.
To her husband and teenage daughter: the woman who puts food in the fridge and dinner on the table.
To her elderly mother: a round-the-clock helpline for endless complaints.
Laura Clark is the woman everyone relies on. But barely anyone sees.
So, one day, Laura puts on her 'out of office' message - and doesn't come back. And soon, everyone's formerly ordered lives quickly begin to descend into all-out chaos.
Where has Laura gone?
Has something terrible happened to her?
Or has she - unthinkably - decided to finally give her own life the finger?
To find out, the people in her life must realise that, maybe, they never really knew Laura Clark at all . . .
