The synopsis reads: "A six-episode family crime series told from the point of view of a killer who has spent nearly twenty years hiding in plain sight, living a double life as a wife, mother and homemaker, this is also a career-first for McKenna, as she executive produces on this compelling account of mothering, murder and the price paid for long-buried sins.
"Shelly Mohan, played by McKenna, is a super-mum. Her days are filled with cooking, cleaning, shopping and chauffeuring, shuttling three kids (Rhys Mannion, Kaitlyn Rose Downey, Aidan McCann) from schools to activities, volunteering on the PTA with fellow stay-at-home-parent Matt (Trevor Kaneswaren) and somehow still managing to have a home-cooked meal on the table by the time her garda detective husband Jason (Barry Ward) arrives home every night.
"It's a chaotic, hectic and mostly thankless life that in contemporary society is undervalued, but it is a life Shelly is happy with because it is a life she has chosen - in fact, it's one she has created.
"All of this is put in jeopardy, though, when Shelly is confronted by an ex-lover (Adam Fergus) who threatens to expose her murderous past and thus destroy the new life she leads, destroy her family and ultimately separate her from her children."
The cast of Clean Sweep also includes Jeanne Nicole Ni Áinle as Jason's detective partner Fiona and Cathy Belton as the Scotland Yard investigator looking for answers.
ShinAwiL CEO and executive producer Larry Bass said: "It has been a big ambition of ShinAwiL to pivot into television drama production. When we first read Gary's script we knew this was a story for a global audience, a classic 'why done it?' that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats."
Director of Acquisitions and Co-Productions for RTÉ Dermot Horan said: "Clean Sweep is a compelling thriller with a rich backdrop of strong Irish characters and the unique Irish landscape. RTÉ believes it will attract a very large audience on RTÉ One and on the RTÉ Player, but that the story will be equally attractive to an international audience. As such, we are delighted to be working with such a great range of partners - Incendo, Sundance Now, ZDF Studios and of course ShinAwiL, one of Ireland's most renowned production companies."
