Bafta-winning writer Jack Thorne's compelling eight-part drama series is about murder and secrets, and is set in rural England. Overton: a tiny village in the English countryside. Farming is its bread-and-butter. Racehorses are its beating heart. But beyond the rolling hills and behind the stable doors lies a green and not-so-pleasant land. When the body of a local teenage boy is found underneath the wheels of a tractor, the villagers in this remote community - his friends - are forced to open up their world. The gang - Tina, an aspiring jockey, her boyfriend Rob, housemate Annie, local vet Janine, and farmer's son James - have their lives thrown into disarray. Outsider Eli - the brother of the murdered teenager - also struggles to cope with his grief. When a young and ambitious police officer, Ruth Rosen, is seconded to the murder investigation the situation becomes yet more complicated. As everyone falls under suspicion, trust melts away, and the friends start to realise that from now on everything is different.
