One morning Toby Underwood received a text message indicating his wife, who had disappeared without explanation the previous night, had been abducted and brutally raped. However, in June 2005 Merete Underwood was jailed for twelve months for perverting the course of justice. To cover up an impulsive one night stand she had accused an innocent man of rape and dragged her family through a living hell. This factual drama is a bizarre tale of betrayal and recrimination. It explores the heartbreak of a quiet, hopeful father who forces himself to turn a blind eye to his wife’s frequent infidelity, until a one night stand sets off a fateful train of events. It is a story of lies that become bigger lies and a selfish plot that nearly lands an innocent man in jail.
