BAFTA award-winning writer Jack Thorne (National Treasure) returns with a powerful and compeIling new 4-part serial drama. Kiri examines the abduction and death of a young bIack girl, named Kiri, who is soon-to-be-adopted by her white foster family, and the trail of lies, blame, guiIt and notoriety that folIows.
At the heart of the drama lies Miriam, played by BAFTA and RTS award-winner Sarah Lancashire (Happy VaIley, Last Tango in HaIifax), an experienced, no-nonsense social worker who Ioves and believes in her job, but has a maverick and instinctive approach to protecting the children in her care. Miriam arranges for Kiri to have an unsupervised visit with her biological grandparents.
But when Kiri disappears during the visit, the fingers of suspicion and blame from the poIice, the press, and even her colIeagues, point firmIy at Miriam. As the media spotIight around the story intensifies, Miriam, as weII as both sets of famiIies, are forced to ask the toughest questions, not just of themselves, but of each other.
