"Beth believes her husband has been wrongly accused but she soon makes some shocking discoveries that cast doubt on his innocence. As she confides her worries to Adam, Tom’s best friend from childhood, further developments see Beth begin to realise not everything in her supposedly idyllic life is as it seems." 

Speaking about the project, The Split star said: "Beth is someone carrying immense pressure as she attempts to portray this idyllic family life. Yet, behind closed doors, these first images perfectly capture the hauntingly dark and troubled truth which seemingly lies behind the façade of it all… It’s just the start of this very twisted story and I hope viewers will be as gripped watching it as we were in piecing it all together." 

The cast also includes Shetland star Julie Graham as well as Inside No. 9’s Shobna Gulati, Pennyworth actor Hari Dhillon, and The Larkins stars Morgana Robinson.
