Created by Bruce Goodison and written by John Donnelly, SANCTUARY is inspired by true events; a contemporary, sexy-revenge thriller about a woman forced to take the law into her own hands when a charming and terrifying former gangster on day release terrorises her and her husband to gain parole. ​

 

At its centre are two very different people – Ruth, a farmer; and Terry, a notorious gangster – both struggling with a sense that life has passed them by, who want freedom of different kinds, and are prepared to do anything to get it. Even fall in love.
