She begins to lose respect in the town and her daughter is threatened to be taken away from her. Meanwhile, Anjana Vasan's police officer Gladys begins to piece together the mystery along with a group of women from the town.

Jonny Sweet writes the script, while other cast members include Timothy Spall (Harry Potter), Joanna Scanlan (The Larkins), Malachi Kirby (Small Axe), Gemma Jones (Bridget Jones), Lolly Adefope (Ghosts), Eileen Atkins (The Crown) and Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical).

This is a reunion for Colman and Buckley, who both starred in The Lost Daughter. In that, they played the same character at different ages and both were nominated for Oscars for their performances.
