MISCONDUCT was created by Joan Barrett and developed in collaboration with esteemed British writer Sam Snape, who wrote the TV series script based on their work.
MISCONDUCT’S atmosphere is rooted in the exclusive, distinct world of Dorset’s dramatic coast, the location of Fitzpatrick’s ancestral home. Season One follows the lead female’s quest for the truth about her disappeared husband through Paris (fashion houses/a houseboat on the Seine), London (Baker Street/courtrooms), Romania (mountains/villages), Manchester (football fields/ alleys), a Yorkshire commune, and critically, at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland.
MISCONDUCT is for the ‘Sophisticated Sleuth’. It attracts an audience that appreciates sharp dialogue, morally complex characters and threatened love. It provides them with a smart, atmospheric mystery tinged with criminal worlds and betrayal. It is a thought-provoking, character-led psychological thriller with a love story as its prize.
When her flamboyant mid – 30’s celebrity lawyer husband mysteriously disappears at sea, a conventional mid – life high court Judge must go on a terrifying hunt to dark places and confront shady characters to root out the truth while he tries to evade them all in his quest to solve an impossible dilemma to free himself of the high-stakes criminal world and redeem himself with the woman he loves.
How much can the bonds of love endure when faith and trust have been stretched to the limit?
