From the team behind 2015's wiIdIy successfuI adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None comes "a dark, perfectIy contemporary morality tale" (The Daily TeIegraph, UK) set in 1920s London.
When glamorous Emily French (Kim CattralI, Sex and the City) is brutalIy murdered in her home, all the evidence points to French's young Iover, Leonard Vole (Billy HowIe, On Chesil Beach), to whom the heiress left her fortune. Ms. French's
devoted housekeeper (Monica DoIan, The Casual Vacancy) proclaims Leonard's guilt, but Leonard insists that his wife, enigmatic chorus girI Romaine (Andrea Riseborough, Bloodline, Birdman), can prove his innocence. As the scandalous crime goes to triaI, soIicitor John Mayhew (Toby Jones, Detectorists) finds that the case may be his undoing.
Played to perfection by an iIIustrious cast, this "briIliantly twisted" (DaiIy
Express, UK) drama shows that "Christie stiIl has the power to give us
goosebumps" (Metro, UK). |
