Ashes

Synopsis

After the death of his wife in a devastating fire, Jonathon Soter's life is in ruins. Barely holding down his job as a teacher and drinking to excess, he's a man lost with nothing to live for. But the news that the boy who killed his wife has been released early from prison brings monumental change and gives him a motivation. He begins a journey to find his tormentor, to find an answer and to ultimately find redemption.

Exploring themes of contemporary crime and punishment, redemption and forgiveness, Ashes is a powerful drama that will move, entertain and inform its audience.
