A powerful adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell’s feisty and passionate love story starring Richard Armitage (The Hobbit, MI-5) and Daniela Denby-Ashe (Mum, Waterloo Road) set in the changing world of Victorian industrial society. Margaret Hale is one of literature’s most original heroines: a southerner from a country vicarage newly settled in the industrial northern town of Milton. In the shock of her move, she misjudges charismatic cotton mill-owner John Thornton, whose strength of purpose and passion are a match for her own pride and willfulness.

Though Eve has had experience in the field, Rosa (Wunmi Mosaku, Vera, Luther), Mike (Mark Bazeley, The Queen, Broadchurch), and Oggy (Finlay Robertson, How Not to Live Your Life) find themselves unexpectedly thrust into the new world of murder detection.
