Synopsis

A modern reworking of Andrea Newman’s taboo-busting 1970s psychological drama, A Bouquet of Barbed Wire, has been commissioned by ITV. Adapted by Guy Andrews (Lost In Austen, Prime Suspect), A Bouquet of Barbed Wire explores the consequences of a father’s obsessive love for his daughter and how once buried in the past return to haunt their lives. Trevor Eve will play Peter Manson, whose apparently successful life is turned upside down when his beloved teenage daughter Prue reveals she’s pregnant by her teacher, Gavin Sorenson. The very heart of the family is threatened as Peter has an intuitive sense that Gavin’s on a personal quest for revenge.
