Brighton in 1924 is captivated by Pink’s Pills, promoted as a simple route to a thinner and more fashionable body. Clara becomes suspicious when her former school friend Abigail Sommers arrives without explanation just as Albion Industries launches the product.

People who take the pills begin falling ill, and Oliver Bankes becomes one of the victims. Clara’s inquiry moves through industrial espionage, beauty competitions and dangerous commercial rivalry as she asks whether the poisoning was negligence or a deliberate attack.
