Quicksand centres around a British couple living in bliss on a Greek island – until their idyll is shattered when their son is tragically killed by a local youth.
The father, played by Tennant, meets a dangerous stranger who offers him a chance at revenge, but there's a catch: it means one more murder.
Written by Steve Lewis and Tony Owen, Quicksand is due to commence filming on the Greek island of Crete in April.
