It all starts innocently enough as young bank executive Louise Evans (Jodie Whittaker) agrees to set up a phony bank account in exchange for some quick and badly needed cash. Once she starts taking money from the bad guys, though, the action quickly escalates to the point where Louise has to risk everything she has, including the life of her young daughter, to keep from landing in jail for a long, long time. The pacing of this British mini-series is tightly controlled, giving the audience plenty of ‘holy crap’ moments as the bad guys start closing in. The love story between Louise and a detective named Crawford (Toby Stephens) is less effective. Whittaker, however, is fantastic in every scene.
