THE GREY MAN

A one off drama based on the novella by Andy McNab and adapted by Andy Rattenbury (Absolute Power, Teachers) and directed by Declan O’Dwyer (Robin Hood, Wire in the Blood). 

Thirty something Kevin Dodds dreams of being Clint Eastwood or Tom Cruise. The reality is that he’s a browbeaten and unappreciated deputy bank manager who’s bullied by his incompetent boss, Symington. Kevin’s life is made even more miserable when he's humiliated by former classmate turned famous actress Jessica Drake, home for a book signing. She deposits her diamond necklace in the bank for safe keeping. 

When Symington denies Kevin the day off to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his wife Linda, it’s the final straw. Kevin begins to devise a cunning plan that will not only guarantee his long awaited and greatly deserved promotion to bank manager, but will shaft Symington and Drake in the process and give Linda the best anniversary she’s ever had.

But does Kevin have the brains, the will, the determination, the sheer cool required to pull off a daring solo bank heist? 

It’s time for The Grey Man to find out.
