Julian Fellowes

Sara has a history of suicide attempts. Ex-cop Malcolm has a history of jealousy and alcohol abuse. Their volatile relationship, fueled by passion and booze, soon becomes aggressive and violent. Maggie O'Neill and Peter Howitt star in a true tale of a battered wife imprisoned for life for killing her husband, and the fight to get her conviction reduced on the grounds of provocation.

A woman born under a Christmas star believes in miracles, and finds she need one to keep a conniving developer from ruining her peaceful village.
