The creative mind behind 'The Jetty,' Cat Jones, joins forces with director Marialy Rivas to shape the narrative. Their collaboration aims to deliver a series that goes beyond the conventional crime thriller, exploring profound themes and intricate character dynamics.
Jenna Coleman steps into the shoes of Detective Ember Manning, a novice investigator who finds herself at the center of an unusual case when a holiday home in a peaceful lakeside town in Lancashire goes up in flames.

As Manning approaches the truth, she realizes the potential destructive power it holds over her life. The series challenges her perceptions of the past, the present, and the town she has always considered home. 'The Jetty' promises a suspenseful narrative that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats as Manning navigates the complexities of the case, revealing hidden truths that could reshape her world.
