About the series

What it’s about

Rachel Nickell is murdered, and her two-year-old son is the sole witness. His father must protect him while the police pursue a mistaken line of inquiry.

What hooks you

Jordan Bolger plays André Hanscombe and Neil Maskell is DI Keith Pedder. The series is written by Rob Williams and directed by Alex Winckler, with music by Oliver Coates.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who likes true-crime dramas that focus on a family's private ordeal rather than on police procedure, and for viewers drawn to stories where a child's memory is both fragile and crucial.
