June’s mother has been mysteriously absent for three years, while Harry’s father is altered from a coma and his detective mother (Nadine Marshall) is busy with work.
The Innocents kicks off with teen Brit lovebirds June (Sorcha Groundsell) and Harry (Percelle Ascott) making plans to run away together.
Their mission to escape the night before June’s 16th birthday hits a snag when they’re accosted by a strange Norwegian man (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson) who would look terrifying even if this wasn’t a supernatural series.
As one character points out, it all feels rather Wicker Man.
