All things in life which require effort - pleasure, passion, wit and thought - are impossible when your heart is cracked. And it's also very hard to get out of bed\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTonight everything must go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelody's got secrets. Dirty, dark, sick-to-the-bottom-of-your-stomach secrets that she's hidden away from for years. The tattoos up her arms tell part of the story, but the truth is a lot more complicated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn, the boyfriend, thinks he knows Melody but he doesn't know the half of it. To him, it's just a question of presentation. Olive, Melody's irascible almost-mother-in-law, thinks she knows all about it. She isn't afraid to put her oar in, but she's got her version of events to hide. Ashley turns up at Melody's door on a mission to reveal everything. Only she doesn't know the full picture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pressure that's been building up for years is about to boil over.
