It is November 2004, and Bill and Wendy Ainscow are struggling to cope with Social Services' neglect of their daughter, in her 30s and who is autistic. In a desperate attempt to escape, they posted a suicide note to a newspaper and ingested a variety of sleeping pills, walking together into the ocean in the hopes of committing suicide. On this tragic day, Bill lost his life, however Wendy was rescued, leading her to live her life caring for her daughter alone, with no state help, leading her to a second suicide attempt.
