Emergency services receive a call about a house fire on the
Gurnos estate in Merthyr Tydfil. People are reported to be inside
the house. The fireman on duty recalls arriving to a blazing
scene, entering the house to save lives.

News reports reveal that the fire killed a mother, Diane Jones
and her infant daughters Shauna and Sarah Jane. Whilst initially
unclear if the incident is a tragic accident, reports emerge that
the fire was deliberate, and police launched a triple murder
inquiry.

Three women are charged with triple murder, and two convicted of
arson with intent to endanger life. One of the women, Annette
Hewins, makes a desperate plea of innocence from prison. After
nearly three years of imprisonment, Annette’s conviction was
deemed unsafe and overturned at the Court of Appeal. Annette
walked free but could never escape the catastrophic impact of the
ordeal.

Annette’s oldest daughter, Nicole, starts a journey towards
understanding what her mother experienced, but she has more
questions than answers about how her mother could be so failed by
the justice system.
