What is Wolf about?
Wolf is based on Mo Hayder’s acclaimed Jack Caffery novels, being named after the last novel in the seven-part series which was released in 2014.
The books have been adapted by Suspicion writer Megan Gallagher, while the series has been produced by Hartswood Films (The Devil’s Hour, Inside Man) and APC Studios (The Light In The Hall).
The official synopsis for the series says: "DI Jack Caffery is a young detective beset by nightmares. Obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his 10 year-old brother in the '90s, Jack finds himself trying to right the wrongs of others - but at what cost?
"In an isolated house in Monmouthshire, the wealthy Anchor-Ferrers family find themselves the victims of a psychopath’s cruel games, trapped and terrorised. When the two narratives collide, it’s a thrilling, nail-biting, and deeply disturbing race against time."
