Summary	A raw and passionate adaptation of one of Dickens' finest novels starring Ray Winstone, Gillian Anderson and Douglas Booth. A terrifying encounter with escaped convict Magwitch on the marshes; a summons from Miss Havisham, the eccentric and reclusive owner of Satis House; a friendship with her beautiful but cold-hearted adopted daughter Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor: these are the events that see the orphaned Pip's life change forever. Part thriller, part mystery, this is an epic tale of obsession, corruption, revenge, redemption and forgiveness.
