The Way taps into the social and political chaos of today's world by imagining a civil uprising which begins in a small industrial town.
Meet the Driscolls - an ordinary family, in an extraordinary story of life, death and survival. Caught in a chain of events and power struggles that ripple out unleashing civil unrest, they are forced to escape the country they've always called home and the certainties of their old lives.
Will they be overwhelmed by their memories of the past, or will the Driscolls lay their ghosts to rest and take the risk of an unknown future?
The lead character, DCI Tom Mathias (Richard Harrington), is a brilliant but troubled man on the run from his past. Having abandoned his life in London, he finds himself holed up in a caravan overlooking the sea on the outskirts of town - a place filled with secrets as dark and destructive as his own. Together with hometown girl DI Mared Rhys (Mali Harries), he forms an engaging partnership in a thrilling new drama with pace, poetry and scale.
