Before We Die is the brand new crime thriller on its way to Channel 4 – here’s all you need to know.
The series is based on the hit Swedish show of the same name and set in Bristol.
The story follows senior Police detective who is forced to make a terrible decision as her son, Christian, goes off the rails.
With their relationship seemingly beyond repair, Hannah gets a chance at redemption when Christian becomes caught up in the investigation into the brutal murder of one of Hannah’s colleagues and their paths cross again in unexpected circumstances.
In contrast to Hannah’s dysfunctional relationship with her son, the close-knit Mimica family moved to Bristol from Croatia and now run a successful restaurant. But under the guidance of the ruthless eldest son, Davor, they are ambitious to expand their criminal activities at risk of stretching family bonds to breaking point.
