Vicky McClure and Johnny Harris reunited from This Is England. He's in prison for murdering her 14 year old daughter, and requests one of those forgiveness sessions - where he claims not only that he didn't kill her, but there's another missing girl in danger. She does some digging, and starts to believe him. Good performances from the leads, as you'd expect.
We're not sure who to believe - if Harris is just using her for reasons of his own? The ending isn't very easily guessable. The very ending is a little contrived - actual forgiveness session with real murderer.
With Dorothy Atkinson (The Gold, Mum), Andrea Lowe, Johann Myers, Ezra Faroque Khan, Perry Fitzpatrick, Con O'Neill, Callum Fuller (fellow cellmate), Kieron Burton (Harris's son), Justine Emma Moore (daughter) and Elise Ackerman (missing friend).
It was filmed in Poletti's home town Nottingham.
4 x 45m for ITV.
What is perhaps the worst thing about this is that the parents leave a 14 year old girl on her own, who goes out and scores drugs from older boys; then, when she's being killed, the father is off with his other woman, and the mother is getting pissed with her mates, sees a text from her, and ignores it. Which ironically leaves the Johnny Harris character looking pretty saintly in comparison.
