What is The Devil’s Hour about?

The story follows a woman named Lucy (Jessica Raine, Call the Midwife), a social worker who is woken up to terrifying visions every night at 3:33 am in the so-called ‘devil’s hour’ between 3 and 4 am.

Alongside her hellish night terrors, Lucy is also dealing with the breakdown of her marriage, a mother who has dementia and speaks to empty chairs and her emotionless and withdrawn son, Isaac.

The synopsis continues: “Her house is haunted by the echoes of a life that isn’t her own.”

“When Lucy’s name is inexplicably connected to a string of brutal murders in the area, the answers that have evaded her all these years will finally come into focus. Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) plays a reclusive nomad, driven by a murderous obsession. He becomes the prime target of a police manhunt led by compassionate detective Ravi Dhillon, played by Nikesh Patel (Starstruck).”
