The drama, which is based on the novel of the same name by CJ Tudor, follows Reverend Jack Brooks (Samantha Morton) and her daughter Flo (Ruby Stokes) arrive in Chapel Croft, "a place for a fresh start that soon reveals its community's dark history and where ancient superstitions and mistrust of outsiders are quite common," according to the synopsis.
