About the series

What it’s about

Julie, a retired assassin, has settled on a remote Greek island, seeking peace away from her violent past. Her estranged son Edward visits from England, hoping to ask about his father, but their reunion is strained. Before they can talk, Julie's dangerous past resurfaces, forcing them to flee the island together.

What hooks you

Keeley Hawes stars as Julie, with Freddie Highmore as Edward. The series is directed by Sarah O'Gorman, Lisa Mulcahy, and Daniel Nettheim. The premise of a mother and son on the run from her past promises tense, character-driven drama.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who like thrillers with family secrets and high-stakes chases, and to viewers who enjoy stories where a dangerous past disrupts a quiet life.
