Penned by prolific scriptwriter John Banas (Siege), this feature-length TV movie is loosely inspired by true events. In 1980s Auckland, solo mum Carole Taylor (Morgana O'Reilly) extracts herself from a fling with criminal Tony Michaels (a creepy Erroll Shand). A dogmatic detective (Peter Elliott) eyes Taylor as his star witness in putting the elusive Michaels away for murder. Taylor and and her kids are smuggled into a "safe house". Guarded by cynical, sexist officers (including Stickmen's Scott Wills), Taylor resists becoming the bait in the detective's game. Safe House is directed by John Laing (Beyond Reasonable Doubt).
