Mia, a former catwalk model is on the run, mainly from herself. Long term it's a story of personal renewal but for now, the stark reality is that her career is over, she's flat broke and she's homeless. This is a woman who despite her humble beginnings has become accustomed, possibly even addicted, to the finer things in life. Unfortunately, those lifestyle choices don't carry much currency when you're pushing 40 and permanently sofa surfing. She may have a high falutin' attitude and a world class skincare regime but Mia's now living on the breadline.

Nic is grieving a loss that she can't share with anyone whilst stuck in a depressing marriage. Only her son, Ollie who she adores, keeps her going. But when Jen arrives in town her life is lit up with laughter and through this kindred soul her dark secret starts to bubble up.

The Split is an authentic, layered and witty exploration of modern marriage and the legacy of divorce through the lens of the Defoes - a family of female lawyers at the heart of London's fast-paced and emotionally-charged divorce circuit.
