WIN A COPY OF LAST WEEK'S MONDAY MOVIE, THE TAKE HERE!

Hugh Bonneville (Iris, Notting Hill) and Janet McTeer (Tumbleweeds) star as detective team Barclay and Foster in this gripping new TV ONE drama.

Writer Mick Ford (William And Mary) has taken the engaging and charismatic duo of Detective Superintendent Iain Barclay and Detective Sergeant Amy Foster created by Gwyneth Hughes in the BBCs critically acclaimed, BAFTA- and Golden Globe-nominated missing persons drama Five Days, and put them at the heart of a team of compelling and unpredictable detectives who are faced with a shocking and highly sensitive crime.

When extremists kidnap two seven-year-old boys from very different backgrounds and promise to release them only if their radical demands are met, the case falls into the hands of the intuitive and pragmatic Iain Barclay.

Barclay and his team, including fast-tracked DI Zoe Larson and experienced officer DS Nick Dyer, struggle to find links between the boys, or clues to their whereabouts. They are increasingly hampered by the forces senior management and a home office determined not to negotiate with the kidnappers.

Frustrated at the speed of events and the teams lack of progress Barclay calls upon his old colleague and trusted friend Amy Foster to help.

Then an email arrives, sent to the station and all major media organisations, with a picture of James, one of the missing boys. Moments later another email arrives with a picture of Rory, the boy snatched from the childrens play park. The word sacred is spelt out in red letters across the two images. Not only are these abductions linked, but there is also a very real and rapidly approaching deadline and ultimatum: the children will be murdered if the kidnappers demands to reverse parliamentary laws and air a shocking anti-abortion film are not met.

The clock is ticking for Barclay and his team. With childrens lives at risk, the boys families demanding answers, and no leads as to who is behind the abductions, the detectives are faced with a hugely complicated moral dilemma to which there is no easy or comfortable solution
