The drama has been written by Danny Brocklehurst, who also penned the Brassic, Come Home and Harlan Coben's The Stranger, and is set to explore the themes of parental love, guilt, grievances and consent.
As the official synopsis reads: "Their holiday is a chance to unwind and for Kathy and Martin to spend some much needed time together. Until unsuspecting Noah accepts a seemingly innocent invitation to a beach party from a fellow holidaymaker, Rosie, who is staying at the same hotel.

"Suddenly Kathy and Martin's world spectacularly falls apart when they are left desperately fighting for their son's freedom against extremely challenging circumstances."
Joining Sheridan in the cast are a number of familiar faces, including Michael Jibson, who also starred in Four Lives but who is perhaps best known for his roles in Quiz and Honour.
He will play Kathy's husband Martin, while The Kid Who Would Be King star Louis Ashbourne Serkis will play the couple's son Noah. Newcomer Lily Sutcliffe completes the family as their young daughter Jessica.

Speaking about the series Gavin & Stacey star said is confident that viewers will be "gripped" by No Return's emotional story. "It was harrowing to film," she said in a statement. "I've done lots of different roles but this is just like a hell ride – you don't really come up for air until the end... I hope viewers will be gripped to see what happens next."
She added: "I'm sure people will think about what they would do if that was their child... When I read the script, and then when I was playing the role, I was thinking, 'My god, if this was my son Billy, I can't imagine how I would feel.'"
