Sundays, Oct. 4 - 25, at 9 p.m. on WKAR-HD 23.1 & STREAMING | Enjoy an unconventional thriller about the perils of late-life romance.

The lives of three siblings (Claudie Blakley, Russell Tovey, Lydia Leonard) are disrupted when their recently widowed mother (Francesca Annis) declares she's in love with a new man (Stephen Rea). The older woman's budding romance provokes suspicion among her adult children and their inquisitive next-door neighbor (Imelda Staunton), and a detective (David Bamber) investigates whether an unfortunate incident was an accident or a heinous crime.
