New Pitch

Having finished The Glass House, I realised I needed to work on a new pitch for it and I'm hoping this one sums it up better.


A peaceful life, ensconced in her restored Victorian Glass House was all Caitlin wished for. When a television producer comes calling her dreams become nightmares.
Caitlin: is twenty-eight and lives in a crumbling house near the village of Sion Mills in Northern Ireland. Her energy and finances are focused on her restored Victorian Glass House and her burgeoning horticultural business.

Niamh: at twenty-five, she's Caitlin's younger sister and the siblings seem to have little in common, Niamh preferring nail extensions to green fingers. She's married to Tom, a fifty year-old property developer and her relationship with her sister is strained by Caitlin's dislike of him.

Ellie: Tom's nineteen year-old daughter who meets her step-mother when she's expelled from boarding school and has to move in with her father.

Tom, Jack and Stuart are the three men who are drawn into the lives of these women. When they are all pulled into the residue of Northern Ireland's paramilitary gangs, impressions are challenged and the value of family, friendship and honesty is revealed.
