David Wolstencroft's penned three-episodic drama will star David Tennant as Will Burton, a talented barrister talented who is yet to lose a case, earning himself the helm of "The Escape Artist".

Will is an intelligent and skilled barrister but when his talents acquit the prime suspect in a horrific murder trial, the event soon comes to haunt him.

"I wanted to write a thriller set in the legal world that's as much about primal feelings as it is about the twists and turns of the case. David Tennant is one of the most accomplished and iconic actors of his generation. I cannot wait to see him in Will's shoes." - David Wolstencroft
