Summary

A woman accuses her husband of a sex crime against her daughter's teenage friend and no one believes her. Five years later, when her now ex-husband returns to town, her daughter pressures her to let go of her accusations and move on. Thriller set in New Zealand, starring Robyn Malcolm and Peter Mullan

Review

David Brown

So blistering is Robyn Malcolm’s performance as high-school teacher Penny in this provocative New Zealand-set drama that you can almost feel the burning heat of her vehemence radiating through the screen. Yet it’s only in the final moments of tonight’s opening episode that we come to fully understand the root cause of that rage.

Up until that point, all we really know is that the return of Penny’s former husband, Phil (Peter Mullan), to Wellington following five years away in Scotland is reigniting tensions within her already fractured family. But as Penny starts to fret and ruminate on the past, events flash back to a fateful birthday party that is destined to end in a shocking allegation. The emotional wounds deepen in episode two tomorrow at 9pm.
