A Manchester-set thriller based around two men trying to solve a 1980s serial-killer cold case using hypnosis as their main tool.
A sceptical journalist haunted by trauma, Jason Frey (Aneurin Barnard) is to return to Syria, where six years earlier he witnessed jihadists brutally kill a colleague. Just before setting off, he (foolishly?) volunteers to be hypnotised on a TV show by Timothy Bevan (Jeremy Piven), where he is promptly transported into a scene of a stabbing apparently committed by his previous self. Understandably, his pregnant wife Claira (Pixie Lott) later presses him to return to the hypnotist to get this door definitively locked and bolted, but the re-connection of the pair just gets them more deeply interested in solving the case.
