The Runaway (Widescreen) (DVD)

From the makers of the hit series, "The Take", this period thriller of crime and corruption from bestselling crime author Martina Cole follows the turbulent lives of two star-crossed childhood sweethearts. Cathy Connor and Eamonn Docherty are brought up together in the midst of gangland London. Surrounded by prostitution, rape, drugs and murder, they are ripped apart by violent circumstances and their lives take strikingly different directions until they meet again as adults. Spanning ten years from 1966 to 1976 and set in seedy East London and the sleazy streets of London's Soho, "The Runaway" has an outstanding cast, including Alan Cumming ("The Good Wife"), Ken Stott ("Rebus"), Keith Allen ("Robin Hood") and a host of hot new talent
