From the award-winning producers of 'Line of Duty', 'Save Me' is an extraordinary and powerful new thriller written by and starring Lennie James (The Walking Dead). Nelson 'Nelly' Rowe is a man who 'likes a drink', loves whoever he's sleeping with and is the life and soul of his local boozer. He's a charmer, a chancer, a fighter, a liar and, at his age, a man who should know better but couldn't care less; until it all goes terribly wrong. Nelly's world is turned upside down when he's arrested and accused of kidnapping the 13-year-old daughter he was barely aware of. Jody's mother, Claire (Suranne Jones) - who knew Nelly a lifetime ago and hasn't seen him since - is convinced of his guilt. With the cops on his tail and all the evidence pointing right at him, Nelly is going to have to turn his life around if he's to find out who framed him and, more importantly, save the life of the daughter he never knew enough to love. - Director:
