Channel 5’s latest original drama series launches over the Easter weekend, exploring the dark and devastating aftermath of an attempted burglary at a luxurious home on the coast. Intruder stars Elaine Cassidy (No Offence) and Tom Meeten (The Ghoul) as an affluent couple living in a small seaside town, who are targeted by two local teenagers looking to make a quick buck. However, the break-in takes a dark turn when one of the youths winds up dead and an elaborate cover-up is staged to make the killing appear to be self-defence. Over the course of its four-episode run, viewers will find out whether this morally bankrupt couple can make their lies stick or whether the truth will come out and tear their world apart.

Angela is determined to play games with Sam, using what she knows as leverage.

Sam is falling apart, not least over what to do about Angela. Bailey makes a breakthrough, but then hits a wall.

Rebecca decides she and Sam must plan their escape in case the police investigation heats up any more.
