What's the Story?
Shelly Mohan (Charlene McKenna) makes a CLEAN SWEEP of her home after killing someone from her past. As part of her everyday life, she cleans up: after her kids, after her husband, after her dog. A devoted housewife and mother of three, Shelly has set up a humble domestic life for herself. But when someone comes to remind her of her sins, she must confront her past life. It doesn't help that her detective husband Jason (Barry Ward) gets assigned to the murder case and is desperate for a promotion. Can Shelly balance her life while evading her husband's investigation?
Is It Any Good?
This series will sweep viewers out of their chairs with twists and thrills. Clean Sweep is filled with grit and mystery that will keep viewers on edge and not knowing who to believe or what's true. Charlene McKenna does a great job portraying Shelly. This is not for younger kids, as there's strong language, violence, and sexual content.
