Acclaimed drama 15 Days, a gritty four part series that was broadcast recently in
the UK is coming to South Africa and starts on ITV Choice (DStv 123) on
Wednesday, August 21, 2019, at 20h00.
Reversing the traditional investigative
narrative, 15 Days is an intensely
human drama and original crime thriller that’s not so much a “whodunnit” but
more a “who’s going to do it?”. In the opening scenes, a young man is shot dead
by a member of his close family.
Immediately the story roles back two weeks
prior, and we meet four siblings and their families, including the soon-to-be
murder victim, as they arrive at an isolated farmhouse. They are there to
scatter their mother’s ashes, but this emotional gathering holds a nasty
surprise when her will is read.
Over the next 15 days, the family is torn
apart by frustrated expectations and adulterous passions, as well as a growing
unease about what really happened when their father died in a drowning “accident”
five years earlier. Dark and devastating secrets return to haunt them all as,
one by one, each character becomes a potential suspect, leaving viewers to
analyse the clues and reach their own conclusions. Only when this absorbing
story reaches what was its beginning, do we finally find out the truth.
The show stars Catherine Tyldesley (Coronation Street), David Caves (Silent Witness), Mali Tudno Jones,
Geraint Morgan, Tom Rhys Harries (Unforgotten)
and Gabrielle Creevy (In My Skin).
