TV Mini-Series 4 episodes. An elderly writer, Maurice Kingsley, stuns the British literary world with a novel that details the tortured life of "Blackeyes", a young model who is repeatedly abused by the men whose fantasies she projects upon billboards and television screens. The public lionizes Kingsley's work as a shocking representation of the plight of women. But the story is not his: Kingsley's niece Jessica had spoon-fed him her own biography in a calculated attempt to avenge a devastating past offense. In a frenzy, she now wants to dismantle his narrative, reclaiming herself and rescue the sad girl in the fiction and the angry woman in her real life.
