Lyn Walker could be your neighbour...

Loyal, long-suffering wife. Proud and protective mother. Doting and dutiful grandmother.

... And benefit cheat.

Called to an Interview under Caution at 'the Social', Lyn needs the best possible advice. But husband Terry insists it's 'all a stupid mistake' and that he just needs to give them a piece of his mind...

Struggling on half of their previous income, owing tens of thousands of pounds and with the prospect of worse to come, how can the Walkers hide their shame from their family and their neighbours?

And are they really guilty of fraud at all?

Hilary Carrington and her colleagues at the Solent Welfare Rights Project don't think so and will use all of their experience and ingenuity to fight the Walkers' cases, despite precarious funding, a spiralling workload and other, more personal, distractions...

There's family strife, humour and romance in this legal drama for our Age of Austerity as we follow an unremarkable middle-aged couple on a journey through a nightmare year, and look inside the unfashionable, unglamorous, tea-swilling world of an independent welfare rights advice project with its eccentric workforce, peeling paintwork, second-hand furniture and eternal optimism.
