The head of the family, now that Mack’s in prison. She’s determined to change the criminal ways of her brood, even if it means living in poverty and avoiding all sorts of temptations. A tough lady, but Taylor is her weakness.

Daddy Carter’s finally been banged up for burglary, and he’s not getting out for four years. But that won’t stop him from trying to control his interests from inside prison. And yes, that does include the rest of the Carters.

Mum’s favourite, butter wouldn’t melt in this boy’s mouth. Training to be a lawyer, he appears every-inch the perfect son. But Lindsay wouldn’t be so impressed if she knew how he really got his high-powered job.

Taylor's twin brother, and the black sheep of the family, he's the one most likely to follow in his father’s footsteps. Never short of a dodgy plan, Lindsay often has to bail him out when things go wrong. A loveable rogue.

On planet Kacie, she’s the next big supermodel. Back in reality, she’s next in the dole queue. Not the sharpest tool in the box, she’s always more comfortable admiring her own reflection than doing a day’s work.

The real brains of the operation, 15-year-old Lianna could be top of her class. But instead she’s blackmailing her deputy head so she can bunk off school and spend time with Grandpa. Perhaps the only sane member of the family.

For a long time the Carter family’s nemesis, Sgt Bain thaws once Mack is locked up. A slightly slippery character himself, he’s not afraid to bend the rules when it suits him. But can Lindsay see past his badge?
