Coleman plays the role of Joanna Lindsay, a primary school teacher in Glasgow, who journeys alongside her partner Alistair Robertson (Ewen Leslie) and their child Noah, all the way to Australia. Their reason? A fierce battle to claim guardianship over his daughter Chloe from his previous marriage.
While en route to the picturesque coastline town of Wild Bay, Noah vanished, leaving a trail of turmoil in the wake of his absence that severely affected their relationship and mental well-being, following the tragic loss of their child.
In 2019, the series was up for an International Emmy Award. It features Asher Keddie portraying Alexandra, who is ex-wife to Alistair and mother of Chloe. Chloe’s role is taken by Markella Kavenagh, known for her work in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” Additionally, the cast includes Katie Dickie from “Dept Q,” Sophie Kennedy, Shauna Macdonald, and David Elliot.

Furthermore, fans have been praising it enthusiastically on various viewer-focused platforms such as Google Reviews, where one individual particularly appreciated its binge-worthy nature.
To be honest, this limited series stands out as one of the finest I’ve watched in quite some time. I couldn’t resist watching all four episodes straight through, a feat that wasn’t particularly challenging.”
