What if everything you believed about the greatest tragedy of your life was suddenly thrown into doubt? In the gripping four-part psychological thriller Without Sin, viewers will be immersed in the tumultuous world of Stella Tomlinson, played by talented BAFTA winner Vicky McClure. As a mother broken by her daughter’s murder, Stella is drawn into a web of mystery and deception when she meets Charles Stone (BAFTA nominee Johnny Harris), the man convicted of her daughter’s murder.

With another teenager’s life in danger, the unlikely duo are forced to work together in a desperate attempt to uncover the true events of that fateful night. What begins as a quest for closure quickly spirals into a complex web of truth and lies, causing Stella to question everything she thought she knew about that night.

As Stella digs deeper into the investigation, she begins to question not only Charles’ guilt, but also the very basis of his beliefs about her daughter’s murder. Without Sin takes viewers on a roller coaster of suspense and raw emotion, leaving them to ponder the thin line between villain and victim, and how far one can go in search of redemption.

On how the series was conceptualized, writer and creator Frances Poletti told LeftLion: “Vicky (McClure) was looking for a project to do in Nottingham, and she had watched a Channel 4 documentary on restorative justice and thought that there was something really interesting. in this. She wanted to wonder what would happen if a mother went to meet with the man she believed killed her child, hoping to get an apology, and then he overturned the meeting. So I met with Vicky about the idea, and once I left the room, it was all I could think about. Johnny Harris and Vicky have been good friends since their This Is England days, and they wanted to work together again, so I teamed up with them to develop a story.

In an interview with Big Issue, Vicky McClure spoke about her character saying: “That show was called Redemption. And this word is very important. This cuts through the heart of the series. Because they both need it. Stella has absolutely nothing to lose. No matter what she discovers, it won’t bring her little girl back. At the moment, it has very little use. Everything is collapsing around her. So if, all of a sudden, there’s a possibility of more answers, she wants to know what those answers are, as painful as that may be.

Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride as the gripping thriller “Without Sin” premieres exclusively on Lionsgate Play on November 15.
