The trailer introduces us to David Morrissey's (The Walking Dead) character Michael Polly, a headmaster who is approached by his daughter Alana, played by Emma Appleton (The Road Trip), who asks where her mum is.
The disappearance of Michael's wife, Sarah, sparks a police investigation, in which he is the prime suspect. The investigation is led by Detective Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles (Torchwood).
As even Michael's daughter starts to question his involvement, Annie asks at the end of the trailer whether it's grief that Michael is feeling, or guilt.
You can watch the trailer right here now.
The series comes from writer George Kay (Hijack), and the synopsis for it says that Michael is "an upstanding member of the community", who "is inscrutable and likes order and precision in his working life".
The synopsis continues: "Until, that is, he encounters super bright, gutsy Detective Annie Cassidy, and a compulsive game of cat and mouse begins as she chips away at his veneer in search of the truth. Beneath the surface of the mystery, lies a deeper exploration of trauma, trust and the legacy of elite institutions."
