Calling all Happy Valley fans! Siobhan Finneran has become Queen of the small screen recently, appearing in several brilliant show such as Protection and Alma's Not Normal, but now she's set to star in a gripping new drama called Out of the Dust for Netflix.

The six-part series will focus on one woman's quest to escape the confines of a religious cult after a "fateful" encounter. That woman is Rosie (played by Molly Windsor), a devoted wife to Adam (Asa Butterfield) and a loving mother to their daughter, until one day, she meets Sam (Fra Free), an escaped convict who shows her that there's more to life. But will this potential newfound freedom be more dangerous?

What is Out of the Dust about?

'The fateful arrival of the mysterious Sam, an escaped prisoner, reveals the reality and restraints of Rosie’s world. Perhaps her hidden religious community doesn’t have her best interests at heart.' teases the official Netflix synopsis.

'As the cracks begin to appear in Rosie and Adam’s marriage, Sam presents as Rosie’s saviour. But with his dark criminal past, where does the greatest danger lie — with the cult, or with Sam?'
