Jason Watkins and Robson Green star in the suspenseful trailer for upcoming 5 drama The Game (https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/jason-watkins-robson-green-game-air-date-newsupdate/), which finds a former
detective locked in psychological warfare with a man he believes to be a notorious stalker.
Huw Miller (Watkins) retired from the police force with one major career regret: failing to catch the so-called Ripton Stalker, who would torment his victims before ultimately murdering them.
When an enigmatic stranger named Patrick Harbottle (Green) moves in next door, Huw starts to think that the criminal who eluded him for so many years might now be operating right under his nose.
The synopsis reads: "As Huw attempts to settle into retirement, the case is never far from his mind – and when new neighbour Patrick Harbottle (Green) moves in and utters the chilling phrase 'catch you later' – the sign-off the stalker used to taunt Huw during the investigation –
Huw is determined he’s finally got his man.
"What follows is a high stakes game of psychological chess between the two neighbours as Huw’s world begins to crumble around him.
"Unable to bear the guilt of the stalker taking another victim under his nose, Huw risks everything to unearth the truth.
But has he set his sights on the right man, or is his obsession pushing him ever closer to the brink?"
