What's the story?
Too Close.
Lack of social distancing?
Murky and manipulative relationships. A new three-part psychological thriller begins on STV this week, starring Emily Watson as Dr Emma Robertson, a forensic psychiatrist assigned to work with Connie Mortensen, a woman alleged to have committed a horrendous crime.
Who is Connie Mortensen?
A "yummy mummy monster" played by Denise Gough. She claims to have no memory of the night the despicable act took place.

Watson's character must assess Mortensen's sanity ahead of the trial, determining whether she should face life in prison, see out her days in a secure psychiatric unit or be given the chance of rehabilitation and release.
Tell me more.
While Robertson hopes that the high-profile case will make her career, it becomes clear that Mortensen is a formidable subject.
Their sessions soon take a dark twist as Mortensen reveals a deft knack for tapping into Robertson's insecurities, then swiftly seeks to exploit them.
Anything else?
A spine-tingling game of cat and mouse ensues as Robertson attempts to unpick what led Mortensen to that fateful evening. Lines become blurred as the duo become dangerously close.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
