Set against the backdrop of a prestigious private school, a foreboding forest and the quiet sprawl of Bristol, Gone, is a chilling mystery focusing on local Headmaster Michael Polly, becomes the prime suspect in his wife Sarah’s disappearance.
An upstanding member of the community, Michael Polly played by David Morrissey (The Long Shadow, Sherwood, Britannia), is inscrutable and likes order and precision in his working life. Until, that is, he encounters super bright, gutsy Detective Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles (The Crow Girl, Hijack, Torchwood), and a compulsive game of cat and mouse begins as she chips away at his veneer in search of the truth.
Gone is created, and written by George Kay, and directed by BAFTA winning Director Richard Laxton. The producer is Mark Hedges (Hanna, The Rising) and the executive producers are Kay, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award-nominated Willow Grylls (Des, The Missing) and BAFTA Award-nominated Matt Sandford (The Long Shadow).
Gone is a fictional series, partly inspired by the book “To Hunt A Killer” and the career and work of respected former Detective Superintendent for Gloucestershire Police, Julie Mackay, and ITV Crime Correspondent Robert Murphy who has reported on some of the biggest and most complex cases in the West of England. Both Mackay and Murphy serve as consultants on the series.
The series is a New Pictures and Observatory Pictures co-production for ITV in association with All3Media International as the international distributor.
