THE CASH IS GONE.

THE HUNT IS ON.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR YOUR FAMILY?

Orla McCabe has found a case of money. Willing to do almost anything to give her family a better life, she flees with her husband and baby daughter – and the money.

Meanwhile, detectives Lynch and Carlin are investigating a botched human trafficking deal on the isolated northern moors. They find piles of bullet-riddled bodies, but no cash.

The owners of the money are on the hunt, and soon a world of brutal violence envelops Orla and the detectives.

To secure her daughter's future, Orla will never stop running. It's just a matter of who she drags into the dark with her. . .

This promises an adrenaline ride like no other – Deliverance meets The Hunted set on isolated northern moorland – for fans of Elly Griffiths, Adrian McKinty and JM Dalgliesh
