Synopsis
Set in present-day Bristol, "The Carer" tells the story of a modern-day female carer-companion who is stunningly beautiful in appearance, but whose mind is hideously cruel and calculating. Aided by her wicked stepfather, Rebecca Thorneycroft likes to identify with the elderly and the most vulnerable in our society. Her only prerequisite is that they are immensely rich, quite alone and, if she's extremely lucky, suffering from dementia. Rebecca's background is filled with both physical and mental abuse and her ambitions are to become super rich and to destroy the ties with her evil stepfather, Tom Thorneycroft. After gaining a client's confidence, aided by her stepfather and a crooked solicitor by the name of Dominic Symes of Montague Symes & Co, Clifton, Bristol, Rebecca sets out on a path of forging wills, stealing money, blackmail and anything else that might help achieve her aims. That is until she meets up with the likes of Detective Sergeant Andy McDermott of Redland CID and it all starts to go horribly wrong She soon discovers that he is far from a normal police officer, and their relationship leads to an inescapable series of events which draw her further and deeper into a nightmare from which she will never escape. The Carer tells a story that we can all relate to, especially those of us with elderly relatives.
