Channel 5's latest drama Cold Call follows the story of June Clarke after she falls victim to a cold call fraud that threatens to destroy her life.
Set in Machester, the dark thriller focuses on single mother June, a care worker with a pregnant daughter and an ageing mum.
At a time when she has plenty going on in her life, she gets a call, seemingly from her bank, over fraud concerns on her account.
Believing the call to be from her bank, June loses all the money from the sale of her house to fraudsters and sees her life tumble into chaos.
Hoping to overcome the incident, June attends a support group for victims of scams where she meets her old school friend Des Grigsby.
Des persuades her to take a job caring for the mother of businessman Kirk Wiley who is believed to have been involved in the criminal enterprise that targeted both of them.
Together, the pair attempt to expose the businessman they believe is at the centre of the scam.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
