“It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up” goes the old saying. But that didn’t
stop brothers Max and Jake from hiding their guilt after running into an
elderly pedestrian during an inebriated drive home from a wedding. Mark
Bonnar (Unforgotten) and Jamie Sives (To the Ends of the Earth) star as
Max and Jake in a darkly absorbing tale of rascality and deceit, on Guilt,
on MASTERPIECE.
Guilt costars Ruth Bradley (Pursuit) as Angie, the niece and closest
relative of the hit-and-run victim, named Walter. Arriving in Edinburgh from her home in Chicago, Angie meets Max and Jake at Walter’s wake, where they have come to retrieve incriminating evidence. Angie and Jake hit it off, which complicates Max’s plan to escape justice.
