โฆ Synopsis
It seemed like just another domestic: a woman bleeding from a head injury behind a smart front door in one of Glasgow's nicer suburbs. She insists she doesn't need help, and the well dressed man with her assures journalist Paddy Meehan that everything is fine. But Paddy is not convinced. Especially when she is given a ยฃ50 note to keep the story out the papers. The next morning, the woman is dead.

As Paddy pursues the dark and brutal truth, it could make her career - or end her life...
