Drama following the life and times of disgraced Labour politician John Stonehouse, a high-flying minister under Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s government vanished from the beach of a large luxury hotel in Florida in November 1974, leaving a neatly folded pile of clothes as he swam into the sea, intent on faking his own death.
In 1974, ambitious British politician John Stonehouse hatches an outlandish plan to disappear.
When John - now hiding out in Melbourne - draws suspicion from the local police, Barbara and Sheila fly to Australia to confront him.
With Harold Wilson's fate undetermined, John Stonehouse and Sheila go on trial to face the consequences.
