This compelling true crime story sheds new light on the life of infamous murderess Ruth Ellis, Britain’s last woman to be hanged, revealing secret truths about the case that have remained hidden for decades. Set in 1955 and told over two parallel timelines, the drama depicts Ruth’s entry into a dizzying and glamorous upper class London world, which promises so much but ultimately delivers treachery, and her violent and abusive relationship with David Blakely, the man she later gunned down in cold blood. It also follows Ruth’s arrest and trial, as well as the subsequent last-minute attempt to reprieve her before she was hanged, aged just 28.
