Synopsis:

You don't wake up wanting to be someone's mistress - somehow it just happens. Set in a world where friends have become the new family, Mistresses follows the lives and loves of a group of 30-something girlfriends who met at university. But their lives have taken very different turns. Katie, a doctor and the 'grown-up', has been having an affair, with one of her patients. Whilst her best mate Trudi is grieving the loss of her husband killed in 9/11. And there's Jessica - her anarchic lifestyle supplies lots of gossip and humour - but is there more going on than even her closest friends now about? And then there's happily married Siobhan - or is she? Part drama, part thriller, this is a bold take on modern love. Starring Sarah Parish (Cutting It), Sharon Small (About a Boy), Orla Brady (Nip/Tuck), Shelley Conn (Part Animals).

This provocative and thrilling drama finds four friends caught in a storm of excitement and self-discovery, secrecy and betrayal as they are drawn into the world of illicit and complex relationships. 30-something friends Katie, Trudi, Siobhan and Jessica met at university, but their lives have taken very different turns. Katie, a doctor, has been having a relationship with one of her patients; her best mate Trudi is grieving a husband lost in 9/11; bubbly bed-hopper Jessica remains ecstatically single, while lawyer Siobhan seems happily married. Now, the shadow of infidelity is about to cast all their lives into a dizzying maelstrom as Katie finally reveals her close kept secret, Trudi embarks upon a series of disastrous dates, Siobhan discovers real passion and Jessica is forced to face up to her own emotions. As the friends find elation, fulfilment, torment and despair in their relationships, and the story progresses to a gripping climax, they must all face up to the fact that their lives will never be the same again.

Becoming a mistress isn't something than most women set out to do, it just seems to happen. Mistresses follows the fortunes of a group of thirtysomethings who have been friends since university: Katie has become a doctor and has been secretly seeing a patient. Her best friend-Trudie-grieves the loss of her husband who died in 9/11. Then there's Jessica who is constantly the focus of the group's gossip, and the seemingly happily married Siobhan. Mistresses is an epic tale of modern love and drama at its best.
