The streets of London's East End are awash with blood. A murderer stalks thenight picking off vulnerable women and leaving them brutally butchered. Butthis is not the 19th Century; this is not Jack the Ripper - this is a copycatkiller and once again the police remain clueless... For fast-tracked media savvy DI Chandler it's his first big murder case; forfront-line hard-bitten DS Miles he's now saddled with a boss who wouldrather talk about Emotional Intelligence than gut feeling. Neither of themhave a clue until renowned 'Ripperologist' Edward Buchan draws theirattention to the similarities between the Jack the Ripper killings in 1888 andthe modern-day murder.The race is on to succeed where police officers failed over 100 years before -to catch the copycat killer before he strikes again.
20-year-old Nina (Faye Marsay) moves from the Midlands to North London in the 1980s to care for Joe and Max, the two young sons of a working single mother, George (Helena Bonham Carter), the editor of a prestigious literary journal. Playful, sharply funny and fiercely bright, Nina is thrown into a world of sophisticated bohemianism, with only her no-nonsense attitude to guide her. She is unabashed but unqualified, having dropped out of school. Relying on her warmth and self-taught intelligence Nina manages to improvise, with the many intellectuals that pass through the house. With George's encouragement, and the attentions of a good-looking boy across the street, Nina's eyes are gradually opened to a future of expanded opportunities or at the very least sixth form college. Brought to the screen by SJ Clarkson (Jessica Jones), Nick Hornby's (About a Boy) fictionalized adaptation of Nina Stibbe's award-winning book Love, Nina' is a sparkling, life affirming drama celebrating family and friendship in all its chaotic glory.
