Hollington Drive: What's it about?
ITV's synopsis reveals that the series opens on a warm, balmy evening, barbecue sizzling on the patio, the perfect family setting. The atmosphere is relaxed, as the family lounge in Theresa and her partner Fraser's perfectly manicured garden. Apart from Fraser's brother Eddie winding everyone up, there’s hardly a hint of tension, but this is the calm before storm.
When Theresa’s ten-year-old son, Ben, asks to play in the nearby park with his cousin Eva, the adults begin to niggle, adding to Theresa's fears of foreboding and growing feelings of anxiety.
Theresa finds the children on the edge of a woodland area and they appear to be fighting. Immediately her instincts tell her something terrible has happened. This is all too realised when later that evening distraught neighbour, Jean, calls on the family. Her ten-year-old son Alex has gone missing...
