Five Days

2007 - 2010 TV-MA 5h 00m 6.6

A five-part mini-series that revolves around the disappearance of a young mother in a quiet British suburb and the circumstances that leave her children abandoned far from home.

The story begins one hot summer's day when Leanne Wellings (Christine Tremarco) is taking her two young children to visit her grandfather. She stops to buy flowers at a motorway layby, but then inexplicably vanishes, leaving her two small children waiting for her in her car, lost and far from home. Her two small children then set off to find her, only to go missing as well. Their ordeal is captured on CCTV cameras, and before long, the family's heart-stopping trauma is not only a complex police investigation, but a major national news story.
