Surface

2022

Surface (2022) is an American thriller series created for Apple TV by Veronica West.


In Series 1, Sophie Ellis (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is suffering from amnesia after, apparently, jumping from a San Francisco bridge. As she struggles to recall her past life, she finds out that she has been embezzling money from her husband’s employer and hiding it an account under the name of Tess Caldwell.


In Series 2, Sophie Ellis returns to England as Tess Caldwell. There she finds out she is the half-sister of a former lover, a member of the powerful Huntley family. After her mother was killed, the young Sophie/Tess was sent off by her father, Henry Huntley, to grow up in the UK care system.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
