Exile tells the story of Tom Ronstadt a successful London journalist whose world has fallen apart. With his career and life in ruins, Tom flees London and returns to his hometown for the first time in 18 years to find his father Sam in the grip of Alzheimer’s – a once formidable man and Tom’s childhood hero, now being cared for by his younger sister Nancy.
Tom begins to unravel the mystery that drove him away all those years ago; he becomes increasingly frustrated with his father’s failure to remember. He persists, unaware that he is unearthing a devastating crime that will reveal secrets he could never have imagined.
Starring Academy Award and BAFTA winner, Jim Broadbent (Iris, Moulin Rouge) and Olivier nominee John Simm (Clocking Off, Life on Mars). Created by Emmy and BAFTA award winning Paul Abbott (Shameless, State of Play) and written by BAFTA award winning Danny Brocklehurst (Shameless, Clocking Off).
