Lincoln will star as John, a stay-at-home dad in the midst of a midlife crisis. A failure to assert himself in some violent playground bullying leads John to have a full identity crisis and move his family as far away from their life in London as possible, to the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater.

The six-part series stars Roisin Gallagher (The Fall) as Janet, a potty-mouthed Belfast supermarket worker who couldn’t care less about anything, including her life.

So the last thing she expects is for a handsome political broadcaster living the perfect London life with his celebrity girlfriend, Seamus (Johnny Flynn, Beast), to literally fall into her backyard and, perhaps, in love with her.
