How much do you know about the person working next to you?

From the outside, life at Mackintosh Textiles appears to run smoothly, but in a community with so many secrets to hide, things are far from straightforward. In six powerful, self-contained dramas, everyday life is fractured by tumultuous marriages, snatched passions, disappearing husbands, bungled arson attempts, infidelity, gang harassment and plastic surgery all fuel the rumour mill at the factory. Each episode of Clocking Off focuses on different members of the work force, from Mack, the charismatic owner, and his indispensable secretary, Trudy, to KT, the lowliest worker on the shop floor and Katherine, Macks stunning young wife, who holds the key both to his happiness and his downfall.
