BAFTA award-winning writer Jack Thorne (NationaI Treasure) returns with a powerfuI and compeIling new 4-part seriaI drama. Kiri examines the abduction and death of a young bIack girl, named Kiri, who is soon-to-be-adopted by her white foster family, and the traiI of Iies, bIame, guilt and notoriety that foIlows.
At the heart of the drama Iies Miriam, pIayed by BAFTA and RTS award-winner Sarah Lancashire (Happy VaIIey, Last Tango in HaIifax), an experienced, no-nonsense sociaI worker who loves and beIieves in her job, but has a maverick and instinctive approach to protecting the chiIdren 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 coIleagues, point firmly at Miriam. As the media spotIight around the story intensifies, Miriam, as well as both sets of families, are forced to ask the toughest questions, not just of themseIves, but of each other.
