The new series is created by Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan – Shining Vale is all about a dysfunctional family who swap busy city life for a small town. In their new home, a number of bad things took place in the past, and no one notices except for Pat.
Cox's role is a reformed character as she used to live wildly and without consequence. She became famous for writing a women's empowerment book about her experiences, and now thinks that she is either depressed on possessed.
The family changed their way of life in an attempt to save the marriage of Pat and her husband Terry (played by Greg Kinnear). There is a strain on their relationship because Pat cheated on Terry with a younger handyman. Pat will be forced to confront her demons when she moves into this new place.
