The Drowning Series is a new Channel 5 original that puts the spotlight on grief of losing a child and how people cope in different ways. But it is often more difficult when a young child goes missing and parents hang on to the hope of finding them once again.
What is The Drowning About?
The Drowning follows Jodie, a mother of a boy missing for eight years, that she believes she has found.
Jodie is still recovering from the grief even after her son went missing eight years ago. When she meet Daniel, Jodie is convinced he is her missing son. However, this new realization threatens to collapse the life she’s painstakingly rebuilt, as it leads her down a dangerous and morally dubious path.
Daniel’s father is impassive, but protective and denies Daniels has any connection to Jodie. Her strained relationship with her mother means that the only one giving her a sympathetic ear is her brother Jason.
However, Jason too is on the cusp of getting a big promotion at his law firm and Jodie’s fixation can put him in a difficult situation. Can Jodie put her life back in order and move on or is there truth to her accusations?
How far will she go? How far would any of us go to find a missing child?
