The Heights Synopsis

COMING SOON TO CHANNEL 5 as a six-part drama series starring Anna Friel!

'I didn't read The Heights, I inhaled it' LISA JEWELL

Devoted mum Ellen has always been protective of her golden boy, Lucas, who she shares with her ex-partner Vic.

But when sixth-former Lucas brings a new friend home, alarm bells ring. Kieran isn't like Lucas. He's rude, obnoxious and reckless, and Ellen despairs as her son falls deeper under his influence. Others say she's obsessed, that she shouldn't feud with a teenage boy, but Ellen knows to trust her instinct. Something bad is going to happen to Lucas - and it's going to be Kieran's fault.

The instant Sunday Times bestseller about a mother's bid for revenge from the award-winning author of Our House, The Only Suspect and The Other Passenger.
