Stay Close is an upcoming British crime drama miniseries based on the 2012 Harlan Coben novel of the same title.

Premise
The story follows three people living comfortable lives who each conceal dark secrets that even the closest to them would never suspect; Megan (Cush Jumbo), a working mother of three; Ray (Richard Armitage), the once promising documentary photographer, now stuck in a dead-end job pandering to celebrity obsessed rich kids, and Broome (James Nesbitt), a detective who is unable to let go of a missing person's cold case. Lorraine (Sarah Parish), an old friend from Megan’s past, delivers some shocking news which will impact on all three characters.
