The cry.

The cry.

A powerful psychological thriller chronicles the collapse of a marriage in the aftermath of a tragedy, exploring the myths and truths of motherhood. Based on Helen Fitzgerald's best-selling book of the same name, Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) and Ewen Leslie (The Daughter) star as new parents Joanna and Alistair. The young family depart Scotland for Australia to introduce their new arrival to family -- and to battle Alistair's ex-wife Alex (Asher Keddie) custody of his first child, Chloe. Joanna, already struggling with being a first-time mum, finds herself at the centre of an unthinkable tragedy when her baby boy is abducted from a sleepy coastal town. As they face the glare of public scrutiny, alongside this deeply personal trauma the consequences of the tragedy succeed in changing their lives and their marriage forever.
