Plot Synopsis

Based on Helen FitzGerald's book of the same name, THE CRY is a four-part mystery drama series that chronicles the collapse of a relationship between two young parents -- Joanna and Alistair -- in the aftermath of a tragedy, and explores the myths and truths of motherhood, marriage, and post-partum depression. Joanna and Alistair travel from Scotland to Australia with their baby son Noah. They're going to Melbourne to see Alistair's mother Elizabeth and to fight for custody of Alistair's 14 year-old daughter Chloe, from his previous marriage to Alexandra. Joanna is struggling with life as a new mum and the flight to Melbourne is a huge additional strain on her. Noah cries the whole way, to the very apparent dismay of their fellow travellers. Exhausted and emotional from the journey the couple finally arrive in Australia, where unforeseen events change their lives forever. THE CRY had its U.S. premiere on Thursday, November 8, 2018 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as SundanceNow released all four episodes.
