Contemporary Drama Father & Son to Broadcast on ITV1
Father & Son, a four part contemporary drama which shot entirely on location in Ireland last year will be broadcast on ITV 1 next week.
Directed by Brian Kirk and written by the late Frank Deasy the thriller follows Michael, a reformed gang leader as he leaves Manchester to start a new life in Clare with his pregnant girlfriend Anna. However, when his estranged son Vincent is imprisoned for a gang murder, Michael must return to Manchester and the scenes of his criminal past in order to save him. But Vincent has been set up for the murder in order to lure Michael back to Manchester.
Starring Dougray Scott, Sophie Okonedo, Stephen Rea and Ian Hart, this sophisticated and deftly-plotted crime story was produced by Left Bank Pictures (The Damned United) for ITV in association with RTÉ and co-produced by Ingenious Broadcasting and Octagon Films (RAW, Ondine), with the support of investment incentives for the Irish film industry provided by the Government of Ireland and the participation of Bord Scannan na hÉireann/Irish Film Board.
