4. Life Support

Gulliver is in the hospital and Rose wants to know why. There is danger everywhere and she must protect him.

18-year-old Rose has come from Whitby to Manhattan to work as a nanny to a glittering but secretive family. She's not like the other girls. And Gulliver is no ordinary baby. This is a world not just of champagne, but shadows, where all is definitely not as it seems.

Stylish and surprising fantasy horror with a comic twist, starring Alexandra Mardell (Coronation Street) and Demetri Goritsas (Ten Percent). With music by Dana Margolin and Sam Yardley of Mercury-nominated band, Porridge Radio.
