The thriller is about self-made, forceful and charismatic politician Peter Laurence . Peter’s public and private life seems to be falling apart – or rather is being picked apart by his enemies.

Hare said, “I first worked with Hugh Laurie in 1987 when he set off on his riveting change of direction from adroit comedian to commanding dramatic actor.
