A stellar cast led by Sir Michael Gambon, Rupert Penry-Jones, Kelly Reilly, Rebecca Hall and newcomer Danny Lee Wynter, who takes the title role in his first professional engagement, star in the latest BBC One film from acclaimed writer-director Stephen Poliakoff.

Poliakoff’s characteristically engrossing work explores the relationship between the two central characters: Elliot Graham, a reclusive billionaire, and Joe, the teenage son of a cleaner who takes care of Elliot’s grand, empty mansion.

Elliot lives close by but is unable to stay in the palatial house he has inherited; it has too many echoes of the past. Once a venue for sumptuous parties and soirées, the house has become a stultifying legacy that haunts Elliot, riddled with mysteries and unanswered questions.
