PREMISE

An adaptation of Jayne Cowie’s Novel After Dark, CURFEW (w/t) commenced filming earlier this year. In a society governed by ‘The Women’s Safety Act’ where men are tracked by ankle tags. And confined to their homes by a strict curfew from 7 pm every night, a woman’s body is discovered brutally murdered during Curfew hours. Veteran Police officer Pamela Green believes a man must be responsible. However, in a world where men are bound by the curfew system, if Pamela proves a man committed this murder she could bring The Women’s Safety Act crashing down. But powerful forces are determined to make the curfew a success. And will do whatever it takes to silence Pamela in her relentless pursuit of the truth.

Lucy Benjamin is DCI Sue Ferguson, overseeing Pamela’s investigation. Larry Lamb is Rhys Holden, whose family arrives in the UK from America. And has to learn to adjust to life under the restrictive curfew system.
