The six-parter tells the story of a teenage elite gymnast who is attacked at an illegal rave, with each episode centring around a different character and flash forwards teasing the end reveal.

The gripping tale boasts a brilliant cast to bring it to life, led by newcomer Eva Morgan. She is joined by Warren Brown, who plays her father, and who told RadioTimes.com viewers should expect an "emotional roller coaster" when watching the series.

"At times it is dark and harrowing, and you are pushed, and it's such an emotional roller coaster. But I do think there's plenty of fun in there," he said.
