What is The Woman in the Wall about?
The BBC's new gothic thriller is set in the fictional Irish town of Kilkinure and centres around Lorna Brady, a survivor of the Magdalene Laundries scandal, who wakes up one morning to find a dead woman in her home, with no idea who she is or if she herself might be responsible.
"That's because Lorna has long suffered from extreme bouts of sleepwalking ever since she was ripped from her life at the age of 15 and incarcerated in a convent," the synopsis explains. "There, Lorna gave birth to her daughter Agnes, who was cruelly taken from her and whose fate Lorna has never known.

"As Colman searches for a murderer and Lorna searches for her daughter, their paths collide in ways they could never have anticipated. Lorna's search for Agnes will take her deep into her own past and to the heart of Kilkinure's darkest secrets, as she and Colman seek the answers they each so desperately need."
