A Mother’s Son

The quiet town of East Lee, in Suffolk, is thrown in to turmoil when Lorraine Mullary, a local school girl, goes missing and is then found murdered. Shock sweeps through this small market town, including the newly merged family of Rosie (Hermione Norris) and her two children, and Ben (Martin Clunes) and his two kids, their new life together now overshadowed by the threat that a killer might be in their midst. And when Rosie finds a stained pair of trainers hidden in her son Jamie’s room, she suspects it could be blood. But could her son really be involved in Lorraine’s murder?

As the police investigation continues, the emotional turmoil and stress of the tragedy start to cause tensions between the two sides of the family. Jamie seeks solace with his dad David (Paul McGann) and Rosie finds she cannot suppress the growing fear that her son might be guilty of something truly terrible.
