About RUN AWAY

Simon (Nesbitt) had the perfect life: loving wife and kids, great job, beautiful home. But then his eldest daughter, Paige, ran away, and everything fell apart. So now when he finds her, vulnerable and strung out on drugs in a city park, he finally has the chance to bring his little girl home. But it turns out she’s not alone, and an argument escalates into shocking violence. In the aftermath, Simon loses his daughter all over again, and his search to find her will take him into a dangerous underworld, revealing deep secrets that could tear his family apart forever.

In keeping with previous Harlan Coben adaptations, RUN AWAY will relocate the story from the US to the UK. Filming took place in and around Manchester and the North West of England.
