- Summary:
- It's 1963, and Alison Wilson returns home to find husband Alexander dead. Soon afterwards, a woman arrives at the door, claiming to be Alec's 'real wife.' Alison embarks on a mission of discovery to try and find out who her husband really was; but from their wartime romance to a mysterious period in India -- it soon becomes clear that Alec died holding his secrets close to his chest.: Episode 3: Alison delves further into her past with Alec, remembering both the good times and the terrible -- while trying to uncover the true depth of her husband's lies. Hearing wildly differing theories, one painting Alec as a wronged hero, the other as a cruel fantasist, an overwrought Alison is no longer sure who to believe. A final revelation inspires a profound and drastic new beginning for Alison.
