There's Steve, the police officer who found ‘Zoe's' body in the river Black, and sent Paul to prison for her murder.

A woman turns up in Blackwater claiming to be Zoe, but Zoe died 10 years ago.

Golden girl Zoe's been dead for 10 years. But now a woman turns up claiming she's Zoe. Read by Clare Dunne and Richard Clements.

Written in ten parts by Claire McGowan.

Golden girl Zoe's been dead for 10 years, her body dragged from the river Black after a night out to celebrate the end of school.

But now a woman who says she's Zoe has turned up in her hometown of Blackwater, on the Irish border, with no memory of the last decade. She claims she woke up in a forest nearby, bruised and bleeding, and doesn't know where she's been all this time.

What happened to her? Is she really Zoe? If so, who's in her grave?

Paul, a local boy whose band were playing in the venue where Zoe was last seen, went to prison for her murder.

Now he's out, but he's lost everything and is shunned in the town. The people of Blackwater were easily convinced that a black boy murdered Zoe, and the evidence did stack up – but if she's not even dead, then how did he get convicted? Did someone deliberately frame him? He's determined to find out the truth and clear his name.

But does he really know nothing about what happened?
