Ep. 1: Marked
Marked follows the story of James (Sutherland), a seemingly regular guy who's been ground down by the pressures of work, family, money and life. Drowning in debt, James hits crisis point and in his desperation agrees upon an unlikely opportunity to make some easy money. His disgruntled neighbour (Kevin McNally) asks him to do a 'hit' on a man in return for a large amount of cash. Agreeing to his demands, James arrives at the man's house and sets out to incapacitate his victim. But before he passes the point of no return, he discovers that things aren't quite as they seem. Instead of the mark, he is confronted with the last person (Fry) he expects to see.
