Based on the inventive graphic novel by Si Spencer, The Body Threads is a twisty crime drama. In 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, the same body is found in Hengsheng Lane in East London, and in each period a detective must investigate. As connections grow across the decades, the detectives soon discover that their investigations are interconnected, and a mysterious political leader, Elias Mannis (Stephen Graham), becomes increasingly important. Is he involved in the murder? Or is something more sinister at work? To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow work together to uncover a conspiracy that spans more than 150 years.
