What is Finding Alice about?

Finding Alice follows the journey of, you guessed it, a woman called Alice, following the death of her beloved husband of 20 years, Harry.

The couple are ecstatic after they move into their newly refurbished dream home.

However, Alice’s world is turned upside down when Harry falls down the stairs and tragically dies.

As she tries to cope with what’s happened, Alice struggles with overwhelming feelings of loss, abandonment and disorientation.

Making matters worse, as she continues to settle into her new home, Alice uncovers an unsettling secret Harry had desperately tried to hide.

His dark trail of debt, suspicion and criminality leaves her blindsided.

Will she be able to handle the problems Harry left behind or will Alice crumble?
