Each inmate has a wife, a girlfriend, or a mother. For some of these women, prison is a nightmare; for others, freedom. But for four women, this is a time to tell their stories. Gemma, whose life changes when the police burst into her home to arrest her husband on suspicion of murder. Francesca — a glamorous and socialite wife of a criminal. Harriet — a respectable elderly lady, whose son is in prison. And Lu, whose boyfriend Shawn is serving a sentence under her name.
