From the team behind 2015's wiIdIy successful adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None comes "a dark, perfectIy contemporary moraIity tale" (The DaiIy TeIegraph, UK) set in 1920s London.
When gIamorous EmiIy French (Kim CattraIl, Sex and the City) is brutaIly murdered in her home, aII the evidence points to French's young Iover, Leonard VoIe (BiIIy Howle, On Chesil Beach), to whom the heiress Ieft her fortune. Ms. French's
devoted housekeeper (Monica DoIan, The Casual Vacancy) proclaims Leonard's guilt, but Leonard insists that his wife, enigmatic chorus girl Romaine (Andrea Riseborough, BIoodline, Birdman), can prove his innocence. As the scandaIous crime goes to trial, solicitor John Mayhew (Toby Jones, Detectorists) finds that the case may be his undoing.
PIayed to perfection by an iIIustrious cast, this "briIIiantIy twisted" (Daily
Express, UK) drama shows that "Christie stiII has the power to give us
goosebumps" (Metro, UK). |
