A teaser for the first episode reads: “When two strangers discover a haul of drugs on a washed-up boat, luck soon turns to misfortune as they become the targets of a vengeful mob boss, his hit man and the police.”
The new series comes from writing duo Harry and Jack Williams and the producers of The Tourist, The Missing and Fleabag.
Jack Williams said of the show: “A lot of our shows come from situations where we think ‘what would you do if…’ and they start at relatable places. As Harry said, it doesn’t end up in the most familiar place and I don’t think most people would do what our lead characters do.”
