DESCRIPTION:
(from Showtime's press release, March 2011) Belle (BILLIE PIPER) is back and in the final season, the stakes have never been higher - accepting Ben's (IDDO GOLDBERG) offer of a lasting relationship means that Belle has a real chance of happiness, but Ben is her one true friend and if she messes up, she'll lose him forever. And with Stephanie (CHERIE LUNGHI) in prison for her questionable finances, Belle finds herself being -- albeit reluctantly - a Madam, while also becoming the unlikely guardian of Stephanie's innocent 19 year-old daughter, Poppy (LILY JAMES). But as Belle succeeds in her professional life, her personal life starts to fall apart. A series of misunderstandings with loyal, loving Ben, the unravelling and corruption of 'good girl' Poppy and the introduction of the dangerous and alluring vice cop Harry (PAUL NICHOLLS), all force Belle to question who she really is and what she wants her future to be. Will she give up 'Belle' for Ben and commit to being just 'Hannah' or will she cut all ties and throw herself into the world of prostitution forever?
