Clean Sweep is based on real events as it stars Charlene McKenna as a mother with a dark past. She plays Irish suburban housewife and mother-of-three Shelly Mohan, who seems to have it all. But when her past catches up with her and threatens the life she has built up, she turns to murder. In an intriguing twist, Shelly's husband Jason (Barry Ward) is the Irish Garda detective who, oblivious to his wife’s part in the crime, is assigned to the case.
"This was one of those parts that I got to explore all kinds of emotions - there’s Shelly’s past life, her current construction of a life and then there’s the balance or hiding in plain sight and being a killer,” says Charlene. “It was just a gift to play."
