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.

In the spring of 1942 German troops advance deep into the Soviet Union, en route to Stalingrad. Hitler, seriously misjudging the 1 tenacity of the Red Army, is convinced that the city can be conquered before winter.

Inadequately clothed and without sufficient food, the Nazi troops literally freeze and starve to death, largely abandoned by their leaders. For the soldiers Fritz, Hans, Rollo and GeGe the struggle for life has just begun. Gunfire and bombs are only one part of this hell; most of the soldiers will lose the battle against hunger and cold. The film presents this turning point in World War II as a vast tableau of horror in which the average German soldier was as much a victim of Nazi evil as were the Soviet people.
