Rakesh has some big explaining to do when the villagers discover he was behind the deadly blaze at Mill Cottage...

It's been almost a year since broke businessman Rakesh secretly set fire to Mill Cottage as part of an insurance scam. The blaze almost killed Jimmy's wife Nicola and left her paralysed. But so far, he has refused to flee the village despite Jimmy's threats. However, justice may be about to catch-up with him...

When Jimmy gets drunk at The Woolpack, he becomes loose-lipped and Rakesh's shock secret goes public! The villagers are stunned and insist Jimmy report Rakesh to the police for arson. How will Jimmy's wife Nicola react when she finds out the truth about the blaze which almost killed her? And could this be the end for Rakesh when the police come calling at the village factory with burning questions about the fire? Or will crafty Rakesh once again find a way to talk his way out of trouble?
