When she encounters Daniel, she is convinced he is her son. But her fixation threatens to collapse the life she’s painstakingly rebuilt, as it leads her down a dangerous and morally dubious path.

Deborah Findley plays Lynn, Jodie’s mother, while Cody Molka plays Daniel with Rupert Penry-Jones as his father Mark.

Jade Anouka plays Jodie’s friend Yasmin and Babs Olusanmokun plays Ade.

Executive producer Jason Maza said of the show: “We knew we had a fantastic script, so we really wanted a show that felt like we were getting premium talent on the screen.

“I have been a fan of Jill Halfpenny’s for a long time, the work she has done has been consistently brilliant, but I do think her performance in this has blown away all of us. She goes on such a journey and so I think this is up there with her best performances.

“And then with Rupert Penry-Jones I had actually worked with years ago on Silk for the BBC and he has been off in America but he is such a good actor.

“With Jonas Armstrong, again he is someone I have admired for many years and he was so good in The Bay last year and I really wanted to work with him, he was our first choice and we were lucky that the people we wanted said yes.”
