Stay Close on Netflix – what’s it about?
Three people, a dark secret, and a past that won’t stay buried…
The story follows a suburban wife and mother who hides a dark and dangerous past.
She once walked on the wild side, but now appears to have the perfect life complete with children, flawless husband and a house to die for.
But is she really happy with how her life has turned out?
We also meet promising photographer Ray who now panders to celebrity-obsessed rich kids in a dead end job.
Meanwhile, detective Jack can’t let go of a cold case – a local husband and father who disappeared 17 years ago.
He spends the anniversary every year visiting a house frozen in time, the missing man’s family still waiting, his slippers left by the recliner as if he might show up any moment to step into them.
These three so-called ‘ordinary people’ discover that when the past refuses to stay buried, the suburban dream can be a nightmare.
Stay Close is based on Harlan Coben’s novel, and is adapted by Brassic’s Danny Brocklehurst and Prey’s Richard Fee.
Stay Close – who stars in new Netflix thriller?

James Nesbitt stars in the new thriller, fresh from his roles in crime dramas Bloodlands and Line of Duty.
He plays Broome, the detective who’s unable to let go of a missing person’s cold case.
