WHAT would be your first big purchase if you won the lottery? For some it may be a house in the country, while others may have their eye on a dream supercar or a round-the-world cruise.
For auxiliary nurse Rose (Alison Steadman) in The Syndicate, the answer is simple – new knees. She has been on the NHS waiting list for what seems like an age, and finally, following her stroke of fortune, she can pay for private care.
Her fantasy of foxtrotting around a ballroom again is fast becoming a reality, thanks to the £14m jackpot in the bank.
Things take a worrying turn for Rose when, as the publicity from the syndicate’s huge win starts to build and word spreads of their success, she receives a very unwelcome knock at the door.
