About the Show

A struggling mother finds power in unexpected ways as chaos closes in around her.

Mia feels trapped—stuck in a flat with a newborn who won’t feed, a son facing bullies at school, and a husband consumed by a secretive police case. On top of it all, sleepless nights are fueled by a noisy neighbor, and yet another body has surfaced in the Thames.

Desperate to regain control, Mia is drawn to an unusual solution offered by Alfie’s teacher, Ana. As she steps into a new realm of empowerment, the balance shifts—turning the hunted into the hunter.
