We Hunt Together

TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Thriller, Drama
Drama about what happens when two profoundly damaged people collide and finally speak the unspoken, giving each other permission and reason to act out their most violent compulsions.
A new take on a classic cat and mouse story, We Hunt Together explores the intoxication of sexual attraction, the dangerous power of emotional manipulation and how finding a volatile form of solace in another can have dire consequences for those who dare to get in the way.
Freddy is magnetic, highly intelligent, disarmingly charming…and she might just be a psychopath.
Baba, on the other hand, is vulnerable, compassionate yet damaged former child soldier, whose chance encounter with Freddy turns his world upside down.
He's desperate to suppress his predisposition for extreme violence, but the pair's lust for each other takes over and creates a truly deadly duo.
Meanwhile, DS Lola Franks and DI Jackson Mendy face their own unconventional relationship, as the pair get thrown together to work on a high-profile murder case and try to catch the killers.
Jackson and Lola's differing opinions cause conflict during their investigation, as does Lola's inability to deal with her own demons which have the potential to push them both to breaking point.
A psychological thriller and a romance, it explores the dangerous power of desire, what happens when two profoundly damaged people meet and reawaken their latent capacity for violence, and finally, what happens when the honeymoon period is over.
