An ambitious, powerful and surprising drama, The Way taps into the social and political chaos of today’s world by imagining a civil uprising that begins in a small industrial town. Meet the Driscolls - an ordinary family who are about to be part of an extraordinary story of life, death and survival. Caught in a chain of events and power struggles that ripple out unleashing civil unrest, they are forced to escape the country they’ve always called home and the certainties of their old lives. Will the Driscolls be overwhelmed by their memories of the past, or will they lay their ghosts to rest and embrace the risk? The Way is an emotional and darkly humorous story about what it means to be faced with impossible choices. Executive produced by Bethan Jones (War & Peace, Sherlock, Les Misérables).
