Heat is the brand new drama from Channel 5. The thriller, which was filmed in Victoria, Australia, has a star-studded cast list, including Danny Dyer who makes his post-EastEnders acting debut in the series.
He is joined by Scottish-born actor and presenter, Darren McMullen, Jane Allsop, Pia Miranda, Olympia Valance, Richie Morris and newcomers Matia Marks, Matteo Annetta and Hunter Hayden. A synopsis reads: "Steve and Brad have been best friends since their bachelor days in the UK, both emigrating to Australia where they met their wives.
"For nearly 20 years, the men and their families have reunited for an annual summer holiday, this time at Brad’s recently built dream home for his wife Louise and son Kip in the Victorian highlands.
"Steve and wife Sarah, and teenage children, Mia and Tom, are impressed and while the reunion is a warm one, tensions quickly simmer under the surface. Steve is hiding something, and Mia suspects he has been unfaithful. However, Sarah is the one harbouring a secret – and Brad has an even bigger one he is hiding. As a searing bushfire ravages the surrounding bushland, the shocking truth is revealed."
