The Woman in the Wall
No secret stays buried.
Created by Joe Murtagh
On BBC One
A gothic psychological thriller rooted in historical trauma, where a Magdalene Laundry survivor's fractured mind becomes both the mystery and the crime scene.
When Lorna Brady, a survivor of one of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries, wakes to find a corpse in her house, she has no idea who the dead woman is or if she's responsible for the apparent murder, because she has long suffered from extreme bouts of sleepwalking.
