Rowan
Amanda Abbington
When her teenage son is threatened following a drug deal gone wrong, Rowan takes drastic action to rob the bank where she works to pay off a local crime boss.
NEW DRAMA
Desperate Measures
Tuesday-Friday, 9pm, Channel 5
There are echoes of crime caper Ocean’s Eleven as Sherlock actor Amanda Abbington and Luther’s Warren Brown join forces to stage a risky bank heist in Channel 5 thriller Desperate Measures.
Abbington plays single mum Rowan, a diligent bank clerk in Manchester, whose life spirals out of control when her teenage son Finn (newcomer Jesse CescattiMcFarlane) is coerced into a botched drug deal on their lawless estate.
With Finn’s life in danger unless a desperate Rowan can pay back the cash that was lost, things take a rather far-fetched turn as Rowan hooks up with her career-criminal ex Patrick (Brown) to carry out a heist at her city-centre bank.
