Titled The Guest, the four-part series focuses on a toxic and beguiling relationship between two people, successful business owner Fran (Eve Myles) and her employee, Ria (Gabrielle Creevy). A synopsis for The Guest reads: "Ria has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world. "So, when she starts cleaning for Fran, she's intoxicated by this confident and self-assured woman who encourages her to take control of her life, and when Ria flourishes, an intense friendship is forged. "However, when Fran's advice leads to a shocking event, the lives of these two very different women become intertwined by shared secrets and dangerous plots. What follows is a compelling and manipulative game of cat and mouse. But just who is playing who?"

One shows Gabrielle in her role as Ria in her cleaning uniform, changing the covers of a bed in a plush house. Although she appears to be startled by something as she's staring into the distance mid-movement. Another shows Fran helping Ria with her makeup, applying the same shade of lipstick she's wearing to her employee. In one particular snap shows Eve as Fran at a party, looking somewhat unimpressed that Ria is also at the same event as her, mingling with her friends. With promises of 'intense drama' the images tease the disparity between the two characters' lives before they become intertwined and eventually unhinged.

"As well as being an exciting thriller, at its core this is an examination of class, social mobility and the growing disparity between those at the top and bottom of our society." Quay Street Productions' Davina Earl and Nicola Shindler added: "We're so thrilled to be working with Matt again, this time on a thriller with two fascinating women at its heart.
