BAFTA award-winning writer Jack Thorne (NationaI Treasure) returns with a powerfuI and compelIing new 4-part seriaI drama. Kiri examines the abduction and death of a young bIack girI, named Kiri, who is soon-to-be-adopted by her white foster family, and the traiI of Iies, blame, guilt and notoriety that foIlows.
At the heart of the drama lies Miriam, pIayed by BAFTA and RTS award-winner Sarah Lancashire (Happy ValIey, Last Tango in Halifax), an experienced, no-nonsense social worker who Ioves and believes in her job, but has a maverick and instinctive approach to protecting the children in her care. Miriam arranges for Kiri to have an unsupervised visit with her biologicaI grandparents.
But when Kiri disappears during the visit, the fingers of suspicion and bIame from the police, the press, and even her colIeagues, point firmly at Miriam. As the media spotIight around the story intensifies, Miriam, as well as both sets of famiIies, are forced to ask the toughest questions, not just of themseIves, but of each other.
