The Victim (2019)

The Victim, released on DVD 22nd April 2019 from Spirit Entertainment, is a thriller told through the eyes of the plaintiff and the accused. Set within Scotland's unique legal system, the show asks: who is really 'the victim'?

Kelly MacDonald (Puzzle, Boardwalk Empire, The Child in Time) plays Anna Dean, whose son was murdered fifteen years ago. She is accused of revealing his killer's new identity online and conspiring to have him murdered. Has the anger of a grieving mother turned her into a criminal?

What is she capable of doing in her son's name? Hard working family man Craig Myers (James Harkness; Rogue One, Darkest Hour) is viciously attacked, after being identified online as a notorious child murderer. Should Craig keep his head down or try to prove his innocence? Is he a convicted murderer, or simply the tragic victim of mistaken identity?

The Victim follows the progress of a trial in Edinburgh's High Court, while also covering the events leading up to the legal proceedings and the criminal investigation, led by D.I. Steven Grover (John Hannah; Four Weddings and a Funeral, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), who has his own reasons for wanting to crack the case. Craig and Anna are pitted against each other, but our sympathies will be divided.

New potential suspects will be revealed and long buried secrets unearthed as the story builds to a final, devastating climax.
