The Target of Her Obsession

Glasgow, 1984.

In a close-knit tenement scheme where gossip travels fast and sharp humour masks hard lives, shy and hardworking Lucy McGrory is swept into an unexpected romance with a new, charismatic local man, Derek. For Lucy, it's the beginning of a dream - love, belonging, and the simple future she has always craved.

But from across the courtyard, someone is always watching.

Janice, a lonely and fiercely manipulative woman, becomes consumed with jealousy when she sees the life Lucy is building.

Convinced she deserves Derek - and Lucy's place beside him - her fascination turns into a dangerous obsession.

As she studies Lucy's every move, watching soon isn't enough.

She wants her life -and she will stop at nothing to take it.

What follows is a campaign of intimidation and psychological torment that leaves Lucy and her two daughters deeply traumatised, the scars of Janice's obsession shaping their lives for the next thirty years.

Set against the raw warmth, biting wit, and chaotic charm of Glasgow scheme life, this psychological thriller explores love, rivalry, and the devastating consequences of obsession - and how one woman's fixation can haunt a family for generations.
