3. Rural Idyll
Joe remains missing and Anna finds that her paying guests are disrupting her rural idyll. Starring Tom Glenister.
Anna’s son Joe is missing and her paying guests are disrupting her Provençal idyll.
Four years ago, Anna and John's marriage was floundering. To make matters worse, John began a disastrous affair with their couples counsellor, which he later regretted.
Now, to escape the past, they've started over in rural Southern France - a place they once visited on holiday, but don't know very well at all.
It's an act of folly, maybe, but necessary for their survival – or so it seemed at the time.
But their dream of a new life in France is shattered when their 16 year old son disappears and they find that they, and each of their house guests, are suspects in what the gendarmes have decided is a possible murder enquiry.
