Based on Helen FitzGerald's bestselling book of the same name, "The Cry" follows a child abduction and the impact it has on the family as they face the scrutiny of the media.

The abduction of a baby from a small coastal town in Australia is the catalyst for a journey into the disintegrating psychology of a young woman, Joanna, (Jenna Coleman) as she and her partner, Alistair, (Ewan Leslie) deal with an unthinkable tragedy under both the white light of public scrutiny and in their private lives. "The Cry" is a layered, taut, psychological thriller that will grip you from the start and keep you guessing along the way.
