When the body of a young man is found eerily staged in the idyllic Scottish wilderness, detective Monica Kennedy fears this is just the beginning of a terrifying campaign that will strike the heart of a rural community. As paranoia rises, suspicions and secrets are forced into the light, and the locals start to realise that there is a serial killer hidden amongst them.
With her experience of dealing with the darkest of humanity Monica Kennedy quickly becomes entangled in a heightened game of cat and mouse with a cunning killer. Only she can stop this monster before he claims any more victims. But when her own history creeps up on her, she begins to lose trust in her own judgement. Will her own actions be the biggest risk to herself and her family?
The series is adapted for television from GR Halliday’s debut novel, ‘From the Shadows’ by Matt Hartley and produced by Poison Pen Studios, part of ITV Studios.
‘The Dark’ is produced in association with ITV Studios, who will also distribute the series internationally and is supported by the National Lottery through Screen Scotland.
