The four-part series stars Downton Abbey's Tuppence Middleton as a woman discovers that her belongings have been removed from her house and new occupants have moved in.

Things go from bad to worse when she is unable to contact her estranged husband Bram, played by Line of Duty's Martin Compston, or locate her missing children too.

What has gone on in the house?

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Compston called the series "a relationship drama" at its heart and teased that "it just goes wild... it goes to places you really don't expect".

The series is adapted by Simon Ashdown from the best-selling novel of the same name by Louise Candlish, and star Buket Komur called it a "nightmarish" scenario. Colour us excited.

If you have watched the episode already, you will have likely have some thoughts on that recent cliffhanger ending - but star Martin Compston has teased that this is just the beginning.
