The eight-episode series is based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay by Sunday Times best-selling author Nick Harkaway, who writes under the pseudonym Aidan Truhen.

Jackie Price (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn when she discovers that ‘The Seven Demons’, a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen, have been hired to kill her. Assuming someone from her past is behind it, Jackie unleashes her old instincts and embarks on a wild, dangerous game plan: to take down ‘The Seven Demons’ one by one before they kill her. However, she soon realises that her own demons are far more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail… and her buried secrets lead her closer to home, with surprising consequences.
