Adapted from Mo Hayder’s Wolf, the BBC presents a mystery thriller series by the same title, designed to give the viewers a nail-biting experience while keeping them on the edge of their seat. Wolf Season 1 follows the story of Jack Caffrey, a troubled detective investigator haunted by a vision of his neighbor, whom he suspects of being responsible for his brother’s mysterious disappearance three decades ago. Simultaneously, a five-year-old unsolved murder case resurfaces in the Donkey Pitch area. This prompts Jack to question whether the wrong person was imprisoned, leading him to believe that the true culprits are still at large, determined to eliminate anyone obstructing their path.
