But one of them has a secret – the kind of secret so explosive that it might be impossible to stop it rising to the surface. The kind of secret that could finally unlock the truth of what happened to a teenage girl, decades ago. The kind of secret with the power to shatter everything the group thinks they know each other, and about themselves.

The funny, touching and entertaining story of how Jo Hardy, the star of BBC2's Young Vets, gets to grips with animals big and small, friendly and not at all happy, on the road to becoming a fully qualified vet. "Stand well clear. Keep your eyes on them. Oh, and make sure you have insurance." Not the most comforting words of wisdom but probably the most useful for a trainee vet, Jo would say.
