However, their marriage has been turbulent over the years and has many ghosts hidden away in their home. Transgression delves into the moral conduct of their family dynamics, prepare yourself for an uncomfortable journey.

As a drama therapist, Tom creates the classic cliche situation and leaves Hannah for one of his students half his age, Addie (Alexandra Etudor). Who’s assertive shows a lot of emotional hang-up from a problematic childhood. With so many unresolved issues she isn’t in the right place to become involved with the Greencroft’s.

Alongside the family feuds, Hannah’s client played by Zara Hadeshian comes around for her therapy sessions as she struggles to come to terms with her situation and the torment she goes through daily. Alongside their son Graham (Bruce Allinson) after he returns home after splitting with his long-term girlfriend. His behaviour begins to echo his parents.

Director Bryan Oliver brings out the destruction and resentment that can be created in families through unresolved issues and situations. As time passes by the questions just become bigger inviting into the mix life-changing consequences and unrepairable hurt.

The storyline can be relatable on many levels, family life seldom runs smoothly. There are many layers to Transgression although some loose ends fail to be answered which imitates life can often happen. You certainly wouldn’t want to be caught up in their household!
