About
"A cold case that keeps rewriting itself"
Twenty years after five-year-old Jesse vanished without a trace, his DNA turns up at a crime scene, forcing the four people who were with him that day back into a mystery they thought was buried. The show follows adult friends and family unraveling old guilt, buried secrets, and shifting suspicions as new evidence contradicts what everyone believed happened. It's a brisk, twisty British mystery-thriller, more soapy than prestige, built on cliffhangers and reveals rather than mood or atmosphere. It moves fast, rewards patience with its puzzle-box plotting, and wraps up in a single tight season.
the tightly wound mystery that keeps overturning your assumptions about what really happened.
