- Synopsis:
This provocative and riveting four-part drama tells the story of Sugar (Romola Garai) an alluring, intelligent young prostitute who yearns for a better life away from the brothel she is attached to, run by the contemptible Mrs Castaway (Gillian Anderson). However, things change for her when she meets wealthy businessman William Rackham (Chris O'Dowd). Sugar is a thrilling antidote to William, who is saddled with a pious brother, Henry (Mark Gatiss) , and fragile wife, Agnes (Amanda Hale) who regularly endures visits from the invasive physician Doctor Curlew (Richard E Grant). William ensconces Sugar as his mistress and she soon grows accustomed to her new life. Yet unbeknownst to William, Sugar begins to hatch a plan which sets a series of events in motion that will change their lives forever... - Actors:
