Midland

One day, on his way back from meeting, investment banker Alex Wold finds himself standing up to his waist in the Thames, trying to guide a bottlenose whale back out to sea. Later, as he's watching the continued rescue attempt on the news, his mother calls to tell him that Tony Nolan - her ex-husband and wealthy neighbour - has died of a sudden heart attack. As the Wolds and the Nolans all head back to Warwickshire for Tony's funeral, both families are forced to take a difficult journey into the past. Midland is a devastating exploration of what binds families together, and what tears them apart.
